Erotic Stories for Punjabi Widows by Balli Kaur Jaswal
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

As much a story of immigrants as it is about erotic stories. I loved it. The characters come alive and you can almost hear them talking. There is so much here and it is presented so beautifully. The delight in their own culture and at the same time their desire to change things.
The desire of these women to share their fantasies and desires helps them to realize that they are not alone, their desires are a normal part of life and loss.
I felt that I got to know the characters and what made them do the things they did. Said another way, the plot was remarkably clear and the story unfolds beautifully.
Bravo, I read this for book club and my opinion went from "Why am I bothering with this book?" to "Wow, that was quite a read!"
