Exquisitely written stories that uncover the deep humanity of those of us deracinated from home. This is a book from and about migrants from their own perspectives and those of the ones who never left. All the perspectives are Indian or Indian-American. The stories both live within and transcend culture. Definitely passes Duvernay and Latif tests. Almost fails Bechdel (two named women talking to each other about something other than a man), which is curious for a woman author. There is one very short conversation between Lilia and Mrs. Kenyon, but most of the POV characters are male.
