Reviews

"Austere, philosophical, and rich; a work that . . . grows in moral force and pathos." --The New York Times Book Review "With delicate compassion and needle-sharp insights, Deshpande delineates the battle to build an independent life against the backdrop of ancient discriminations and daily humiliations. . . . The novel's rich, nuanced prose weaves the tale of four generations of women into a complex tapestry." --Ms. magazine "This novel places Deshpande in distinguished international company [for] readers who enjoy Anita Brookner or Isabel Allende." --Publishers Weekly "A very satisfying piece of reading and a significant contribution to the world of literature because of . . . the poignancy and sensitivity with which it handles the characters and their worlds." --The Book Review "A poignant peep into the tangled web of human relationships." --Femina "This strength of Deshpande's fiction lies in its compassion, its tolerance and understanding of human relationships." --Times Literary Supplement
