Description
Anjana is literature's fresh, new voice. Although the novel is centered on Indian culture, it holds resounding truths for all women. She intimately portrays relationships between and within families and friends and shows how women build strong friendships and lives for themselves.
A panorama filled with insight and surprise, Appachana's eloquent writing is an apotheosis of a larger subject - a view of humanity, a sense of what is moral and lasting.
An outstanding novel, colorful, complex, and suspenseful. Recommended for all libraries. - LIBRARY JOURNAL
