Description
A New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice, this brilliant novel is "a shattering study of disaffection and belonging" (Bidisha, Guardian).
Escaping her failing marriage in the United States, Grace Marisola has returned to Pondicherry to cremate her mother. Once there, she receives an unexpected inheritance-a house on the beaches of Madras-and discovers an older sister she never knew she had: Lucia, who has spent her life in a residential facility. Grace's attempts to leave her old self behind prove first a struggle, then a strain, as she discovers the chaos, tenderness, fury, and bewilderment of life with Lucia.More details
