Charlotte Bacon's novel explores not only the bonds between parents and children and the turbulence of suppressed family histories, but also the bravery needed to respond to the pain of others." "Anna Singer, a charmingly independent young New Yorker, is dazed with grief after the death of her father in a car accident and after losing her husband to a younger woman. Hoping to put her losses into perspective, she books a long trip to India, a country that she has never visited but that has always tantalized her: her reticent English mother, Rose, was raised in Calcutta during the twilight of the British Raj, but rarely spoke of this to her children. Then, just before Anna departs, Rose gives her a bundle of typewritten pages in which, it turns out, she has recounted her youth in India - growing up with a Hindu ayah and a widower father, coming of age in a time of cultural and political turmoil. Anna now faces the unexpected shocks of India today, along with the even greater surprises in store for her in her mother's memoir."--BOOK JACKET.
