(1) YA The novel follows the Indian Das family from their 1970s immigration to the U.S. through the next few decades, showing conflicts involving cultural sensibilities, identity, interracial relationships, and geographic distance. If ever the intricate complexities of immigrant families living between homelands were in doubt, Perkins has laid those doubts to rest in an ambitious narrative illuminating past and present, departure and reunion, women and family.
