Don't think I have read any books by this author before. I have read her daughter Kiran Desai’s Inheritance of loss which I quite liked. Borrowed an ebook from my library. The story takes place in Old Delhi. It is the story of siblings who have drifted apart and about family reunion. Set at the aftermath of Partition and how it affects the siblings.
Mom and Dad are largely not present. Aunt Mira is the adult who looks after the siblings. Some can’t wait to runaway from home and make their own family. While others stay back to look after and nurture those who need their care. Was it wrong to leave the family home and create a world for their own? But what of those who had to stay back. Do they hold grudges to those who flew the nest? Do those who flew away, are they grateful for those who stayed back?
