In 2020, I decided to systematically revisit my older review posts and update them. On Thursdays, I’ll be re-sharing a few of these great reads. Today, I’m re-sharing a family drama, The Unlikely Adventures of the Shergill Sisters by Balli Kaur Jaswal.

My Summary:
“To honor their mother’s dying wish, three Punjabi sisters travel to India on a pilgrimage to visit sacred places that are special to Mom and to scatter her ashes. Told from the three perspectives of three very different sisters, The Unlikely Adventures of the Shergill Sisters explores sibling relationships, modern vs traditional roles of women, secrets, and the importance of family.”

QOTD:
Have you read The Unlikely Adventures of the Shergill Sisters or is it on your TBR?
Sounds a bit like trail of tears!
I love a good sisters story!
I’m reading a book set in India right now but it’s a much darker story than yours.
I hope you’re enjoying it!
it’s about a young girl who makes a stupid comment on facebook and ends up in prison alleged to be involved in a firebomb attack on a train
That’s harrowing!
Loving the sound of this Carol. When our library reopens will be checking to see if they have a copy of this. ❤📚
I think you’d like it! And older titles are easier to get! 🙌
I love sister stories, I never had one!
I love sisters, too. I have 2 sisters…one is in Heaven after a lengthy battle with cancer.
