A story about sisterhood, the tantalizing dream of America, and the secret histories and hilarious eccentricities of families everywhere. When Anju, the daughter of a dyspesic father living in Kerala, India, wins a scholarship to a prestigious school in America, she seizes the opportunity, even though it means betraying her sister. But when Anju goes missing, her sister Linno procures a visa so that she too can travel to America to search for her vanished sister.

  • "When seventeen-year-old Anju wins an all-expenses-paid scholarship to study in New York for a year, she jumps at the chance to leave her home town in Kerala and embrace all that America has to offer. But there are bittersweet consequences ahead, not only for Anju, but also for the father and older sister she has left behind. For when the lie behind Anju's scholarship is suddenly revealed she is left without a visa and, too proud to confess to her family, goes into hiding. She accepts a job in a suburban beauty salon and the offer of a roof over her head from the kindly Bird, who strangely seems to know more about Anju's past than Anju herself has told her. Meanwhile, Anju's family are on a mission to find her, trying not to contemplate the possibility that they might never see her again."
