It is a rare author who can create morally gray, imperfect characters that the reader still cares about. I was even concerned for the "villian" of the story.
Also, I did not find this to be one of those stories where a Westerner goes to India to "find themselves". Mary went to India because she had no other place to be. She does struggle with her purpose there, but Himalayan Dhaba lacks the preachiness, predictability, and somewhat racist stereotypes of those other tales.
Overall, it was an enjoyable read.
Notice: the story depicts sexual assault, violence, surgical procedures, and tragic deaths-- It is not overly graphic, however, but I feel is included to show real life in the area for better or worse.
