(2) YA Parvati's uncanny, eerie prescience marks her as different, and people begin to hold her responsible for the catastrophic cyclone that opens the novel. Parvati seeks pleasure in mimicking the dance movements of a statue carved by her deceased father, which comes alive for her alone. Staples breathes life into her evocation of India. Despite an uneven pace, this is a memorable novel about a fascinating place and mythology. Glos.
