The Leaving of Things by Jay AntaniMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
A well-written novel that transported me to India and back to the 1980's. Not only did I enjoy the characters and the story itself, but I also appreciated and greatly enjoyed reminiscing about the 80's - VHS, cassette tapes, etc. Antani keeps the reader thoroughly engaged in the lives of all the characters he writes about whether it was through letters from friends in WI, interactions with new friends in India, and of course, through Vikram, the main character, as he goes through his journey as a kid from WI to a young man adjusting and figuring out life in India.
This is a solid, beautiful story told with words that have a lyrical quality making it a quick and enjoyable read. It's a worthy read for people of all ages and backgrounds. Highly recommend!Jay Antani
