Beschreibung

<b>A remarkable debut novel about women's relationships - with each other and with the men in their lives - and the rise of fundamentalism in India today. </b><p><i>'When the light shifts, you see the world differently.'</i></p><p>A superbly nuanced work of fiction, Anindita Ghose's first novel <i>The Illuminated</i> revolves around two women: Shashi and Tara. After the sudden death of her celebrated husband, Shashi is alarmed to realize that overnight, she has lost her life's moorings. Meanwhile, their fiercely independent daughter Tara, a Sanskrit scholar, has been drawn into a passionate involvement with an older man, which threatens to consume her in ways she did not imagine possible.</p><p>Amidst a rising tide of religious fundamentalism in India that is determined to put women in their place, Shashi and Tara attempt to look at themselves, and at each other, in a new light. But is it possible to emerge from an eclipse unscathed?</p><p>An astonishing feat of the imagination, <i>The Illuminated</i> is as sophisticated in the quality of its prose as it is provocative in its thematic focus on questions of identity. A remarkable novel of ideas, it marks the arrival of a tremendous new literary talent.</p>
