Miss Missy is a terrifically entertaining book.
A servant girl in a wealthy Indian household falls in love, and fights off an evil man. The pampered scion of the family is accidentally killed. To avoid being blamed, the girl and her lover flee the scene, and eventually end up in America to make a new life.
Many years later, Missy has clawed together a life for her and her daughters. The past arrives to catch up with her.
What makes me feel uncomfortable reading books set in India is the obvious racism inherent in the caste structure, and the fact that everyone seems to have servants and be incredibly spoiled.

An enjoyable read! I particularly liked the strong female characters and family relationships. The plot was a little predictable, but otherwise it was well written and engaging. Worth reading if you like family dramas spanning across different generations and countries.
