YA
When her grandmother plans to visit from India, Tara predicts that all hell will break loose--Naniji has never visited, resentful that Tara's mother "lured" her son away to Canada. Tara hates that she's always too Indian for some but not Indian enough for others--a group that now includes her own grandmother. Slang and sarcasm make the narration realistic-sounding in this well-written novel about identity and prejudice.
