5.0 out of 5 stars A fresh and captivating read, Mar 26 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Her Mother's Ashes 2: More Stories by South Asian Women in the United States and Canada (Paperback)
This book brings together stories of sadness and whimsy, exotic locales and a walk-up in Brooklyn. It represents new voices in fiction along with more established authors. One story finds a sheltered young Indian woman making love to a Guatemalan refugee who looks like a Mayan warlord; another story captures a young Indian woman DJ, out to make her mark on the music scene, finding connections to her Latina sisters in the sighs and hot breaths of history. Still another reveals the often ironic and subversive thoughts of a Canadian woman of Indian descent, married to a gentle WASP and finding her old disappointments fade against the warm glow of a peaceful marriage. Another one slyly describes an American in Bombay and the little girls who steal his toilet paper. I loved these stories, I loved their differences, and I wish that this book were more widely available because the stories aren't just about South Asian women, they're really about all of us.
