  • "Après le départ de son mari, Sumi retourne vivre chez sa mère et s'installe avec ses trois filles dans la maison de son enfance, dans le sud de l'Inde. Elle lève peu à peu les secrets de l'histoire familiale et s'affirme en trouvant du travail et en prenant conscience de son avenir."
  • "When respectable professor Gopal walks out on his wife, Sumi, and their three daughters, she has no recourse but to move back into her family's house in Bangalore. There she reencounters her estranged sister Premi, delves into the scandal behind her parents' marriage (they have not spoken to each other for more than three decades), and then into her grandparents' complex past. With psychological acuity, Deshpande switches between first- and third-person narrators, crosscutting skillfully among passages of fraught conversation, swaths of remembered narrative, and meditation: "the bliss is only for moment," Premi speculates, "It touches us and goes on.""
  • "A novel about a wife in India who is abandoned by her husband, a professor. With her three daughters she is forced to move into her parents' house, where she reconnects with an estranged sister."
