Anju and Sudha are cousins and best friends since childhood, but their adult lives have taken different paths. In the sequel to Sister of my Heart, Sudha and her baby daughter come to California to stay with Anju and her husband, but the women cannot quite resume the close friendship of their childhood. Anju mourns the loss of her first child and struggles with her university classes. Sudha feels she is in the way, and is particulary anxious to avoid Anju's husband Sunil, who has treasured a secret passion for her since their double wedding - while Sunil pours all his stifled desire into tenderly caring for Sudha's infant. Such a precarious situation can't last... but what will happen to each relationship after the inevitable meltdown?
I liked this a bit less than Sister of my Heart, but I did appreciate seeing what the author envisioned for her characters' next steps.
