Book Review:
''The Unlikely Adventures of the Shergill Sisters'' by Balli Kaur Jaswal is a big-hearted, earthy, and funny novel about three sisters on a journey across India. Rajni, Jezmeen, and Shirina Shergill have never been close, but when their mother dies, she asks them to take a pilgrimage across India to carry out her final rites.

Each sister has her own reasons to run away from her life. Rajni, the know-it-all eldest, is facing an uncertain future. Jezmeen, the loudmouth, is a struggling actress desperate to find her voice again. Shirina, the golden child, has an arranged marriage and a perfect life that isn't what it seems.

As they travel across India, the secrets of the past and present are sure to spill out. Jaswal's writing is warm, hilarious, and compulsively readable. If you enjoy family dramas, stories about sisters, or books with humor and heart, The Unlikely Adventures of the Shergill Sisters is a must-read. Highly recommended!
