Book Rec of the Day 4/12/2007

A daughter travels to India to uncover her mother’s secret past. Bacon’s second novel is “readable and sophisticated” (San Francisco Chronicle Book Review), “engaging” (The Washington Post Book World), and “richly atmospheric” (Publishers Weekly). A portrait of a nation and a portrait of a mother’s relationship with her daughter, the book begs to be passed around and discussed among friends.
