Synopsis
In northern India, an eighty-year-old woman slips into a deep depression after the death of her husband, and then resurfaces to gain a new lease on life. Her determination to fly in the face of convention - including striking up a friendship with a transgender person - confuses her bohemian daughter, who is used to thinking of herself as the more 'modern' of the two.To her family's consternation, Ma insists on travelling to Pakistan, simultaneously confronting the unresolved trauma of her teenage experiences of Partition, and re-evaluating what it means to be a mother, a daughter, a woman, a feminist. Rather than respond to tragedy with seriousness, Geetanjali Shree's playful tone and exuberant wordplay results in a book that is engaging, funny, and utterly original, at the same time as being an urgent and timely protest against the destructive impact of borders and boundaries, whether between religions, countries, or genders.

Item description from the seller
Seller feedback (410)
- d***d (52)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseThe items were exactly as described, and in my experience, the price was a good value to get seven of these books. The packaging and shipping was above and beyond, with the books first placed in a bubble wrap bag, then placed in a box, and then padded again with some shipping paper. That might seem like overkill for paperback books, but these are old pulp paperbacks, and actually kind of fragile. So I really appreciate the extra care taken in the packaging!
