Thank you NetGalley and She Writes Press for the eARC.
What a fabulous book, one of the best I've read this year so far!
It takes place in India in the 1930's and features an American missionary family who've been there for about 20 years.
The narrators are 12-year old Gene and Arthur, the servant. I have to say it broke my heart at times, it was so sad at times. The way Arthur was treated was awful. But he had more humanity in his heart than all the other (foreign) grown-ups, people who were supposedly in the country to do good. I also liked Gene, he was sensitive and kind. And Modi the dog! I loved her.
It's a wonderful read and I hated when I finished, I wanted more!
