The Toss of a Lemon

Beschreibung

"A brilliant tour de force."--India Today A sweeping, luminous saga of love, loss, caste, and resilience in colonial India. > Spanning over sixty years and three generations, The Toss of a Lemon follows Sivakami's family as India transforms--from colonial rule to independence, from caste-ridden orthodoxy to modern upheaval. With every turn of history and heartbreak, the choices they make ripple outward, forever altering their legacy. Padma Viswanathan's acclaimed debut blends intimate storytelling with epic scope, exploring the bonds of family, the weight of tradition, and the quiet acts of rebellion that shape a life.
