Someone Else's Garden (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780062000354)

In the vein of Thrity Umrigar's The Space Between Us, Dipika Rai's soulful debut novel is a moving multi-generational tale of mothers and daughters in rural India struggling to break free of the social traditions fencing them in. Standing out among works by Shobhan Bantwal, Chitra Divakaruni, and other emerging Indian writers, Rai's Someone Else's Garden offers a rare look at life in the Indian countryside, far from the more well-trafficked literary settings of New Delhi and Mumbai, in an evocative, atmospheric story of one woman's soulful fight to take control of her life.
