I'm about halfway through this book but it's really frustrating me.

It's about first generation imigrants in the UK (the family are from Bangladesh) and the thing that's really irritating me is that all the characters are so one sided. There seem to be no facets to their characters. Usually that's what gets me interested in books the people and how they react to situations but in this book everyone just seems very stereotypical.

Just wondered if anyone had read the book and had any thoughts on it or had a similar experience with another book.
