Résumé
“Reddi’s understated prose and her choice of detail give her revelations a quiet power.” — The New Yorker“[A]mong such time-tested topics of immigrant fiction, Reddi suddenly soars.” — San Francisco Chronicle“While many of the stories seem simple, characters and plots… linger long after you turn the page.” — Washington Post“…reminiscent of Jhumpa Lahiri... The immigrant experience...is rendered with the starkest honesty… substance and depth.” — Philadelphia Inquirer“Reddi has produced a piece of writing that masterfully contrasts the assumed with the experienced, myth with reality.” — India Currents“...superb debut collection... much like Jhumpa Lahiri…a gem of a book…characters remain etched in memory…” — Indian Express“In deceptively simple prose...a compassionate look at what happens when the insular world of the Indian immigrant is breached.” — St. Louis Post-Dispatch“…Reddi deftly employs images to crystallize... the isolation and occasional bewilderment shared by her sympathetic characters.” — Publishers Weekly“This excellent debut collection...
