If you grew up in a joint family, if you had a doting grandma who forgave your every mischief and held you dear to her heart, if you had uncles and aunts and cousins and siblings who were part of the fabric of your being, this story is your story. Find yourself in this story whether you grew up in Indonesia, United States, Bangladesh or Lebanon. This is the story of that generation when family was the core of all relationships, love ran thicker than water and the jasmine on that family verandah spread it's fragrance through all generations and countries and continues to do so. This is so far the author's best production.
