A funny, colourful, loud novel where comedy and tragedy are intertwined. Rich storytelling and vividly drawn characters from master storyteller Meira Chand!
Meira Chand explore la quête d'identité et d'appartenance dans ses romans. Ses œuvres, souvent situées au Japon, en Inde ou dans le Singapour colonial, dépeignent des interactions complexes entre cultures et les individus qui les traversent. Chand capture magistralement l'atmosphère de ses décors et les luttes intérieures de ses personnages alors qu'ils sont aux prises avec les préjugés, les traditions et le désir d'avoir leur propre place. Son écriture offre des aperçus profonds de l'expérience humaine et de la quête universelle d'un chez-soi.
