ALL THOSE TEARS WE CAN'T SEE follows a successful, liberal, Indian-American family in California as they live out their American Dream. However, tensions soon begin to flare between mother Samantha and daughter Monica, as Monica's increasingly uninhibited Western customs clash with Samantha's traditional Eastern values as Monica loves a white, Christian, American boy. Soon the women embark on separate journeys to India, where they reassess themselves and their values.
Not only is impressive that taken on an international odyssey for a first-hand look at India in the modern day (and also much of the past), but taken on an internal, emotional, and contemplative journey with Monica, and Samantha who must confront their preconceived notions of life and love head-on.
It contains interesting, thoughtful, and intelligent characters at every turn. An internal, contemplative, philosophical journey just as they are taken on an adventure abroad. At several key points in this epic family tale readers would be on the verge of tears. This is an inter-generational, and international drama that describes how difficult and traumatic for Samantha (The immigrant in my book) to leave everything behind and start a new life where the language, culture, traditions, morals, beliefs, and everyday way of life are totally foreign and then assimilate into a new country while still retaining her own culture and beliefs.
Monica and Brandon's exploits are gripping and suspenseful Western romances. Samantha and Amit's initial Eastern romance would also enchant the younger reader.
As we follow Samantha on her journey of self-reflection in pursuit of acceptance, love, open-mindedness, and adaptation as the times change she and Monica are able to reestablish their connection with each other, offer their forgiveness, and reaffirm their special love for each other. Monica recovers and goes back to America with Brandon. With burning eyes, Samantha promises to return to India.
