Gypsy Masala

Autor Preethi Nair
en Limba Engleză Paperback – oct 2008
Stunning novel in which a young Indian woman, raised in London to fulfil her parents’ dreams of respectability, sets off in search of her own dreams – and disrupts the whole family. ‘Tell me about your dreams, and if you have dared to follow them.’ This is the challenge for three members of the Vishavan family.Evita (real name Molu, but she’s always had a tendency towards the theatrical) is stuck in a 9-to-5 job until she hears the irresistible beat of a drum, summoning her to follow her dream. It takes her to faraway places and people, but the rhythm of change is also to be found closer to home.Sheila and Bali have raised Evita as their own child. Yet their sadness has kept them apart; holding on to their separate secrets, they have rejected the possibility of following any dreams. Neither expects the disruption that follows Evita’s return…From remote villages in Kerala to the heart of contemporary London, this is a story of discovery, love and what might happen if you dare to live your dream.

Recenzii

'A witty, evocative read that'll keep you gripped' Company 'She is dynamite.' Bookseller 'A little gem..a mystic and beautifully lyrical book' New Woman ACCLAIM FOR ONE HUNDRED SHADES OF WHITE: 'An absorbing novel about mothers, daughters, food and truth.' Closer 'A rich, evocative tale.' Company "A heart-warming read about families, forgiveness, carving futures and filtering truth." Guardian 'A great read. Fast, funny and full of life' Shyama Perera, author of I Haven't Stopped Dancing Yet 'A genuinely moving novel...like the bottled spices that play such a role in the story, this has all its ingredients in just the right quantities to spirit away all negative emotions.' Daily Express 'She writes evocatively about childhood and there are passages of tight and lyrical immediacy...Moving description packs a powerful punch in this book about family, forgiveness and the power of truth.' Guardian
