![]() ![]() Vijay smartly resists psychoanalyzing her, implying that the china-shop bulls in our families can be survived but never entirely explained away."-JAN STUART, NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW ![]() The show-stealer is Shalini's mercurial mother, an 'outrageous queen' of capricious gestures. Vijay's command of storytelling is so supple that it's easy to discount the stealth with which she constructs her tale, shifting time frames with seamless ease and juggling a wealth of characters who cling to the heart. "Vijay probes grand themes-tribalism, despotism, betrayal, death, resurrection-in exquisite but unflowery prose, and with sincere sentiment but little sentimentality." -NEW YORKER AN INDIES INTRODUCE PICK, AN INDIENEXT SELECTION, A BARNES AND NOBLE DISCOVER GREAT NEW WRITERS SELECTION, AN AMAZON BEST BOOK OF THE MONTH, A PUBLISHERS WEEKLY BOOK OF THE WEEKĪ MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK OF 2019 FOR ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY, REFINERY 29, BUSINESS INSIDER, BUSTLE ![]()
