Summary
"This debut collection of short stories focuses on the conflicts and challenges experienced by diasporic South Asian characters who struggle to face truths about intimate relationships, and to negotiate between the banal and the extraordinary events that shape their lives. Writing diaspora has often meant recollecting stories of migration, settlement and reacquaintance with a homeland from a new land, yet Sheila James shows us that the collision of worlds is not external but a landscape within. These are bold explorations of exile, desire, violence and grief, conveyed with wit and candour, ultimately evoking resilience and hope."--Jacket.
