...Desai catches more deeply, though, is all that can't be seen or said. She gives us her pilgrims from the inside out, illuminating their hopes but wise to their illusions. And as Eric, a budding scholar of immigration, learns about more final passages, there is a musk of Lawrencian magic hovering around the social comedy.

In The Zigzag Way, she stakes out new ground and so yields discoveries about places not found on any map. --By Pico Iyer
