Following the greatly acclaimed first two volumes in this
series, this collection brings together more first-rate stories
by South Asian women that—whether set in their home countries or
those of their adoption—explore with profound and sensitive
insight the inner tenor of women’s lives caught between places,
cultures, and generations.
Precisely crafted and sensitively told, each of these twenty
stories offers us a wonderful glimpse into the complex and
manifold world of the South Asian women of North America. |
