About this product
Product Information
Madurai, 1992. A young mother in a poor family, Janani is told she is useless if she can't produce a son--or worse, if she bears daughters. They let her keep her first baby girl, but the rest are taken away as soon as they are born, and murdered. But Janani can't forget the daughters she was never allowed to love. Sydney, 2019. Nila has a long-time secret she's been keeping from her parents. Before she can say anything, her grandfather in India falls ill and she joins her parents on a trip to Madurai. Nila knows little about where her family came from or who they left behind, but what she's about to learn will change her forever.

Reviews
"Lying at the heart of this powerful and moving novel is the shocking practice of female infanticide. Once read it is not easily forgotten."-- Daily Mail "A wrenching debut. . . . [T]he gripping account of the family's struggle to save Nila will keep readers on the hook, as will the tension between Nila and Janani as Nila tries to find a way to share her identity. . . . [T]he complex mother-daughter story will move readers."-- Publishers Weekly " Recommended for readers looking for an evocative, clear-eyed family saga set in India and for fans of Alka Joshi's The Henna Artist and Sue Monk Kidd's The Book of Longings ."-- Library Journal "A haunting, powerful novel [about] a trauma that endures and spawns secrets that spread through the generations. . . . The Daughters of Madurai is also about the cleansing effects of modernity and love and hope."--Thrity Umrigar, bestselling author of The Space Between Us "Bursting with the vivid colors, sounds, and scents of India past and present, The Daughters of Madurai is a searing, heartrending story about the fierce love between mothers and daughters. This novel gripped me from the opening page. It continues to haunt me."--Lauren Belfer, New York Times bestselling author of And After the Fire and Ashton Hall . " The Daughters of Madurai is a captivating and riveting debut from an unforgettable new voice."--Louise O'Neill, author of Asking for It "A moving debut."-- Cosmopolitan (UK) "This raw and moving debut packs a punch."-- Platinum magazine "Utterly devastating and quietly hopeful."-- Woman's Own magazine "'Heartrending but ultimately hopeful, this richly evocative and spellbinding book will touch your soul."--Veronica Henry, author of How to Find Love in a Bookshop "A beautiful story, hauntingly written."--Julie Cohen, author of D ear Thing "Full of grace and tenderness."--Jyoti Patel, author of The Curved Rainbow "Powerful and important."--Karen Angelico, author of Everything We Are

Ok, I want to leave a negative review, but I believe the seller is "merely" careless rather than malicious. Book was described as being in stock on West Coast, and I paid a higher price expecting it to arrive promptly. In fact it shipped from Tennesee and arrived late with exceptionally poor tracking. Sell would not communicate, sent a robot email that they were too busy to handle individual correspondence. So beware of this company.

I tried numerous booksellers to try & get this particular book. They could not help me at all. Finally, I found it here for a great price & new! Book was packaged very well & arrived early. Would deal with seller again. Highly recommended seller!
