Juliet yearns for the ebb and flow of life lived avidly, for the pace and challenge of city living. The conflict between her love of husband and children and her own passionate need for expression is intensified by her move from small-town Canada to Southern India. The stifling restrictions on Juliet's freedom are magnified in the plight of her young widowed neighbour. The beautiful Yashoda longs to embrace the Western values that would release her from the strictures of Indian tradition. But the ancient mores are powerful and enduring, and challenging them inevitably leads to tragedy.©1983 Janette Turner Hospital (P)1997 Bolinda Publishing Fiction

Commentaires

“A truly magnificent literary achievement.” (Booklist)
"A novel of unusual delicacy and power." (Washington Post Book World)
"Impressive, important and revealing." (The Financial Times)
“The steamy subtle, utterly impenetrable mysteries of India ... a work both emotionally and stylistically deft.” (Thomas Keneally, winner of the Booker Prize)
"The first novel by Australian-Canadian writer Hospital has aged well. Hospital's tale follows a Canadian family's stay in south India. Lise Rodgers captures the pace and poetry of the author's narrative and does an excellent job with the many Indian voices. Her accents not only sound genuine, but they reflect the playfulness with which Hospital treats these characters in the novel." (AudioFile Magazine)
