New York: Morrow (imprint of Harper Collins), (2007) dj. Hardcover first edition - Novel by this award winning writer, the story of Tehmina, recently widowed, a Parsi from India visiting her son in Ohio, who is faced with the choice of whether to stay in America or not, - and whether to live in America as a stranger or as a citizen. "A novel that celebrates family and community. It is an honest but affectionate look at contemporary America - the sterility of its suburban life, the tinsel of its celebrity culture, but also the generosity of its people and their thirst for connection and communication. . . a poignant look at issues of immigration, identity, family life, and hope. It is a novel that shows how cultures can collide and become better for it" 296 pp. ISBN: 978-0061240232.
