Book Review: Late Bloomers by Deepa Varadarajan

Suresh and Lata were married for 30 years. They had met through an arranged marriage, and they had raised two children together. But over the years, they had grown apart. Suresh felt like Lata was no longer interested in him, and Lata felt like Suresh was taking her for granted.

Finally, they decided to get a divorce. The divorce left both of them feeling lonely and lost. Suresh was especially upset, because he had always thought that their marriage was strong.

Suresh and Lata are trying to navigate the modern American dating scene. It’s not easy for them, because they are still very much influenced by the Indian culture in which they were raised.

Meanwhile, their children are also facing their own challenges. Their daughter is having an affair with a married man, and their son’s girlfriend had a baby and they aren’t married. Neither of them feel they can tell their parents the truth about these situations.

It’s a difficult time for everyone involved, but Suresh and Lata are determined to find happiness. They know that it won’t be easy, but they are hopeful that they can find love again.

I enjoyed this book and loved the characters. I laughed in some places and felt sad in others. I highly recommend this book.
