Dollar Bahu Paperback – December 11, 2007

The book is encouraging and easy to read, with simple and engaging writing. I’m a fan of the author. If you’re looking for motivation to start reading and from India , I would definitely recommend the book.

Short read, that I finished in less than two days. Great story and highly relatable if you are of Indian decent. Yet another Sudha Murthy short fiction, complete with her simple style of writing, that continues to keep you reading, calmly wondering what's next.

It was a great experience, reading the stories of Sudha murthy.Very simple language and I feels like a native story.I never miss a book of this great author and recommend others to read these books.

If only real life were like Sudha Murty's Dollar Bahu - In reality there is no ending where elders realise their mistakes and come to appreciate their daughter's in law. It is rare to even find a father in law who is fair and just. Human nature is such that everyone believes that what they are doing is correct and moral and expect others to behave according to their value system. A person who has a different point of view is always looked upon with suspicion and mistrust. Everyone thinks they are the hero of their story and anyone who does not see eye to eye becomes the villain.It's a great book with excellent values though. It gives one hope that life might have a fair ending for them too....

I liked it!i don't usually read books by indian authors and that's because of my ignorance .i thought there were no good indian authors.turns out I am mistaken.this was a good book and as an indian woman living in the US can relate to the story in it....very good job

Very well written and showed the reality of people's behavior. We always fail to appreciate what we have and by the time we realize everything will go out of our hands. Thank you mam for writing such a realistic story.

A really nice book from Sudha Murthy. This is my first book of her and i became fan of her writing. She has nicely pirtrayed the true circumstances of the indian families settled in U.S. I would recommmend it to my indian friends settled in US

This is real life faced by Indian Diaspora outside India. I am a third generation Kenyan Indian who face similar situations when our children go to study in the Americas
