This is a Mother Talk book review.
The Splendor of Silence, by Indu Sundaresan, is a lush, sweeping novel, set in India in 1942. It weaves a love story, culture clashes, some espionage and anarchy into four boilingly hot pre-monsoon days.

Thanks! They're fun to do, plus, free books. Can't beat that.
