"A woman embarks on an unexpected journey into her past in an engrossing novel about identity, family secrets, and rediscovering the need to belong. Meena Dave is a photojournalist and a nomad. She has no family, no permanent address, and no long-term attachments, preferring to observe the world at a distance through the lens of her camera. But Meena's solitary life is turned upside down when she unexpectedly inherits an apartment in a Victorian brownstone in historic Back Bay, Boston. Though Meena's impulse is to sell it and keep moving, she decides to use her journalistic instinct to follow the story that landed her in the home of a stranger. It's a mystery that comes with a series of hidden clues, a trio of meddling Indian aunties, and a handsome next-door neighbor. For Meena it's a chance for newfound friendships, community, and culture she never thought possible. And a window into her past she never expected. Now as everything unknown to Meena comes into focus, she must reconcile who she wants to be with who she really is."--Back cover.… (altro)

Meena, world traveling photojournalist, discovers that someone has left her an apartment in Boston - but it has strings attached. Meena discovers that this apartment actually part of a close knit community - one that isn't necessarily welcoming to her. I really liked seeing Meena open up and become vulnerable and claim her heritage and place. She's in the unique position of looking like her birth culture, but not having grown up in it at all. ( )

Meena Dave inherits an apartment in Boston’s Back Bay. It comes with conditions. Meena plans to stay there briefly while she cleans it out, then sell it according to the conditions, and return to her nomadic lifestyle as a photo journalist.
Meena was adopted as an infant, and grew up happily until her childhood home was destroyed in a tragic accident, killing her parents and destroying everything. She spends the rest of her teen years in foster care. But all that is background.
When she stays at the Engineer’s House, as the house in Boston is called, she begins to learn about her Indian heritage, and learns more about who she is.
I enjoyed walking around Back Bay, a neighborhood I know well from living there for a time myself, with Meena and Sam, and the Aunties. The characters were well developed, the story moved along, and I learned a lot from being immersed in Indian culture along with Meena. ( )
