Review: Another Great read - I consumed this, I love reading books about different lives, traditions, and cultures. This book hit all of the marks on that, such a wonderful insight into a culture I have no actual familiarity with. I was able to travel to another place, and experience things I can only ever hope to see one day for myself. Can’t wait to read the next one! And hopefully 100 more stories from Amulya Malladi. Review: couldn't put it down - This novel offers you a wonderful viewpoint of Indian Culture - a peek inside the curtain. It particularly focuses on a traditional mother/ daughter tie and the wonderful, world of womens minds. From a 'familial role' point of view, any woman should be able to find someone in the tale they can relate to and appreciate. It's a gripping read as this young woman emotionally travels through her decisions of how much truth to reveal to her family during a visit to her native home in India from the United States where she has been working and has become engaged secretly. It is hard to put the book down, but don't worry, it is a fast read as well as a fun one. Perfect for a plane trip. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B06Y4B3GWL | | Accessibility | Learn more | | Best Sellers Rank | #712,695 in Kindle Store ( See Top 100 in Kindle Store ) #3,655 in Women's Literary Fiction #5,034 in Contemporary Literary Fiction #10,648 in Contemporary Women's Fiction | | Book 2 of 4 | Silk Sarees and Secrets | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 4.0 out of 5 stars (1,086) | | Enhanced typesetting | Enabled | | File size | 3.0 MB | | ISBN-13 | 978-1662501937 | | Language | English | | Page Flip | Enabled | | Print length | 210 pages | | Publication date | May 24, 2017 | | Publisher | Kindle Press | | Screen Reader | Supported | | Word Wise | Enabled | | X-Ray | Not Enabled | ## Images ![The Mango Season - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91R1Vg4ZSCL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Another Great read *by S***A on January 5, 2025* I consumed this, I love reading books about different lives, traditions, and cultures.

Perfect for a plane trip. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Half-ripe mango *by W***K on October 27, 2007* The brightest element of this work is its evocation of the family tradition of extended female members uniting yearly in the laborious process of making mango pickle. However, I found the characters to be either flat characatures of universal types or unevenly developed. The family "one up-manship" of talent and pride in picking the best mango, in skills related to the process, etc., are the back-biting pecking order innuendos that are perhaps ubiquitous. The mother, however, shows me nothing but rigid thinking. The case isn't clearly made for why this young woman cares so much for her approval or the others' opinions. Good grief, all they do is put our heroine back in the same slot that she occupied in relationship ten years previously when she had left. Also, the central character swings widely from mature and insightful to petty and needy. I'd have been much more interested if the author had developed the character of the subserviant "unmarriageable" cousin, "ugly" and in a vulnerable position, whose role is servant and general stray dog that everyone has tacit permission to kick around. And the coup de grace, the damning period, is the trick ending. good grief. This is closer to Bollywood than any semblance to serious literature. In fact, it isnt literature; it's fiction gussied up because it's from an Indian writer. This one wasn't ready for prime time. I had hoped that the mango itself would become a central metaphor, and that the character would come to a self revelation from the experience, but alas, her inner conflict, for me, is way underdeveloped and poorly explored. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nz/products/99475699-the-mango-season](https://www.desertcart.nz/products/99475699-the-mango-season) --- *Product available on Desertcart New Zealand* *Store origin: NZ* *Last updated: 2026-05-05*
