About The Book

A family and their significant others gather one summer weekend in a California home to mark the golden jubilee wedding anniversary of a Bengali-American couple, Deb and Ruma. Intended to be a celebration through conversation and music, the weekend and the days leading up to it become as much a time of bonds lost and recovered, a time of remembrance of long buried and willfully forgotten pasts, of confessions and self-discovery, of acceptances and rejections, of new decisions, a time when old personal conundrums are finally resolved. The narrative is unveiled in a succession of first person tales told separately by Deb, Ruma, their daughters Anji and Diya, and their visitor from India, Deb's much-loved widowed sister Nanda.
