If Vikram Seth's novel is like an epic journey through time across a continent at a pivotal political time portraying the relationships between families and subtle observational wit and humour complemented by serious human frailties...then this BBC is like being bludgeoned over the head by a baseball bat.
Not just dumbed down for mass appeal but knocked unconscious by a giant pantomime dame wielding said club.
Make some time, read the book and pretend this £16 million amateur dramatics exercise never happened
