Mukherjee bursts out as a star (<i>Publishers Weekly</i> [starred review]) in her stirring novel of three women, two continents, and a perilous journey from the old world to the new--now available in paperback.</br></br> In the tradition of the <i>Joy Luck Club</i>, Bharati Mukherjee has written a remarkable novel that is both the portrait of a traditional Brahmin Indian family and a contemporary American story of a woman who has in many ways broken with tradition but still remains tied to her native country.</br></br> Mukherjee follows the diverging paths taken by three extraordinary Calcutta-born sisters as they come of age in a changing world. Moving effortlessly between generations, she weaves together fascinating stories of the sisters' ancestors, childhood memories, and dramatic scenes from India's history.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Bharati Mukherjee is the author of five novels, two non-fiction books, and two collections of short stories, including The Middleman and Other Stories, for which she won the National Book Critics Circle Award.
