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

This was a sweet read. Would make for a good beach read since it isn't too deep. It was a good story and gave an interesting glimpse into Indian life.

A wonderful tale about one woman‘s complicated life. The Indian culture is what drew me in, I love learning about other cultures and this one is my favorite. I figured out the big secret but that didn‘t ruin anything. The writing was beautiful and heartfelt. Book #48 in 2022

Such a fun book! Meena inherits an apartment from someone she doesn‘t know. She‘s left little notes to try to figure out the secret of why. I loved learning about the Indian and Indian-American customs & traditions. The characters were fun & that apartment sounds amazing. Highly recommend!
