Krátky popis
'One of the best books for 2023' CosmopolitanAgainst a rising tide
of fundamentalism in India, a mother and daughter lose the most
important man in their lives. Shashi, fifty-something and suddenly
widowed, tries to contact her only daughter, Tara, to break the
news, but cannot reach her. As Shashi confronts her loss, she
finds, amidst grief, unexpected new freedoms.Meanwhile, Tara, a
spoiled but brilliant university student, has retreated to
Dharamsala to deal with the fall out from an ill-advised
relationship. Her self-imposed solitude makes contact near
impossible, so by the time she learns of her loss, the funeral is
already over. Without the man that bound them, Shashi and Tara
struggle to reconcile.But his absence also makes them a target for
an emerging religious group determined to put women in their place,
and Shashi and Tara individually prepare to defend their
independence. If mother and daughter are to come together, they
must find a way to understand both their new world, and each other.
But can you ever emerge from an eclipse unscathed?'Lyrical
throughout yet so deceptively easygoing...an extraordinary novel'
