[quote=Anonymous]I can’t think of any MC who I found “too perfect”— I probably would not read the book. I like interesting, sometimes quirky characters and reading about how they have faced challenges. Their imperfection adds depth, IMO. One MC who is extremely accomplished and who I found likable is Perveen Mistry in The Widows of Malabar Hill (by Sujata Massey) I liked her because she was using her talents to help others, was not smug or preachy. “The main character of The Widows of Malabar Hill is Perveen Mistry, one of India's first female lawyers in the 1920s. The daughter of a respected Parsi family and a law graduate of Oxford, Perveen takes on the unusual case of three Muslim widows living in purdah who have signed over their entire inheritance to a charity, leading her to uncover a murder.” AI overview above Not sure if this is what you are looking for— hope it is helpful.
