Narrator Soneela Nankani delivers a nuanced performance of this family drama. After Nikki's engagement party, her mother, Tara, announces that she's divorcing Nikki's father--a revelation that shocks the family even though Tara's unhappiness spans decades. The novel recounts Tara's journey from grad school in 1989 to her life as a mother in an arranged marriage, along with Nikki's own doubts about marriage in the present day. Tara impulsively buys an RV to seek out a man from her past, and Nikki joins her, uncovering new truths about her mother. Nankani skillfully modulates her voice to express worry, playful moments, and terse exchanges between sisters. A.L.C. © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine [Published: DECEMBER 2025]
