I seldom read a book twice, but in the case of P.A. Chawla’s “Mumbai Mornings” I made an exception. The first time I raced through it, eager to see how the next story would unfold. But I read it a second time to explore all the nuances, enjoying it slowly as one would sipping a steaming hot cup of tea, much like the author did with her mother. The stories themselves roll out with ease and some even have subtle twists. They are diverse and colorful, and provide an intimate glimpse into the mother-daughter relationship, extended families and their dynamics, Asian Indian culture and general human trials and triumphs. I particularly appreciated the quotes at the beginning of each chapter, and would often go back and re-read each after I’d read that chapter, to get a deeper appreciation. Chawla uses words as a canvas to so beautifully describe settings and emotions so that the reader can easily feel themselves transported into the stories. This is definitely a gem of a book, and I would highly recommend it.Product details

Mumbai Mornings P A Chawla 9780988822146 Books Reviews
Ms Chaska is a good writer. She keeps you engaged in the stories. the stories of ordinary people are so complex. They keep one engaged and you want to have tea with mummy Bravo !!!
I found this book unputdownable, with the interesting stories and conversations between a mother and daughter. It catches your imagination and makes you eager to turn the pages to find what treasure trove is waiting for you. One learns about the subtleties of human nature and different shades of personalities through the stories. I cannot wait to read more books from the author P.A. Chawla!!
Mumbai Mornings is the second book of Chawla's that I have read, and I have to say I truly enjoyed it just as much as her first! It's a set of individual stories that the character, Saya, hears from her mother for the first time. Chawla has this keen ability to make you feel like you are standing right there next to her characters while some superbly dramatic (and often rather thought provoking) events unfold. Her descriptions are enough to bring you to the giant that is India (a character in itself) and make you feel right at home..."There was only the sound of our footfalls on the matted grass and the rarefied air blowing hither and thither, whispering through bamboo forests, gathering the scent of wild roses and circulating hymns of joy along the surrounding lakes." Beautiful. I highly recommend this quick and nourishing read.
I loved the individual stories of each family member! It gives great insight of every dynamic of the family of both point of view from the daughter and mother. I gave my own momma a big hug!
A very good book. It's a work of fiction that gives you an insight on the realities that people actually face while beautifully depicting the relationship between a Mother and her Daughter.
Great, Thanks!
Mumbai Mornings is an excellent book. While the story is very different than Shenanigans, both books give the same fascinating feeling as if you are part of the lives of these families. You feel as if "mom" is telling you the stories. You just want to read more. I can't wait for the next book. Jean Agostinelli
