I Will Blossom Anyway

“I Will Blossom Anyway” by Disha Bose
Published by Ballantine Books
 
I love when I learn new things while reading for pleasure.  It’s one of the benefits of reading diversely.  With this book, I learned about the Indian culture and family traditions.  It’s a coming-of-age book in which a 20 something woman has fled her family in India to start her own life in Ireland.  She wants the freedom to find her own true love rather than her family arranging a marriage for her.  What she really needs to find is her own true self and to determine which aspects of her family culture and traditions she wants to hold on to while still being an independent woman.  It’s a balance she’ll have to find for herself.  I felt it dragged occasionally but overall, it was a good book.  And the title is quite fitting.  I recommend it.
