“This paperback original takes a wry look at two families, two generations, and two cultures. At the center of the story is Sabah, a second-generation American seeking to understand her heritage. After graduating from college, she journeys to India and is soon caught up in cultural contradictions; traditional customs and modern discos create an unsettling milieu. Two tragic deaths reveal the extremes of traditional and modern cultures, as Sabah seeks a balance in multicultural identity. Interspersed with Sabah’s story are chapters focusing on her parents and the family of her Indian film star uncle. This first novel has the effect of an intricate mosaic-splashes of color finally fit into a coherent whole.”
