Tamarind Woman

Autor Anita Rau Badami
en Limba Engleză Paperback – sep 2002
Anita Rau Badami's widely-acclaimed debut novelKamini has recently moved from India to Canada. Plunged into the past by acrimonious telephone calls and odd postcards from her mother, she tries to make sense of the eccentric family she has left behind. Why was her Mother as bitter as a tamarind with her lot in life? Why did she seem to love Roopa best, rubbing almond oil on her skin at bath-time and never scolding her for getting her sums wrong? And where did she disappear to while Dadda was away on business, leaving her daughters in the care of a superstitious old ayah?A wise and affectionate portrait of two generations of women in an Indian family, TAMARIND WOMAN is a beautifully evocative novel that explores the mutability of memory and unravels the deep ties of love and resentment that bind mothers and daughters everywhere.
