Description
A beautiful and brilliant portrait of two generations of women. Set in India’s railway colonies, this is the story of Kamini and her mother, Saroja, nicknamed Tamarind Mem due to her sour tongue. While in Canada beginning her graduate studies, Kamini receives a postcard from her mother saying she has sold their home and is traveling through India. Both are forced into the past to confront their dreams and losses and to explore the love that binds mothers and daughters everywhere.
Ce que les critiques en disent
“A tremendous achievement - a skillful and compassionate family saga that is personal, intimate, tender and revealing.” (The Globe and Mail)
"Intoxicating...an ambitious sweep of storytelling about family, about memory, about myth and history and the infinite interpretability of relationships.” (Ottawa Citizen)
"It is a book brimming over with smells, sounds and colours, putting the reader so firmly in place and time that you feel you are there. All in all, a lovely piece of work." (The Washington Post)
