Armed only with the invincible innocence of children, the twins Rahel and Esthappen fashion a childhood for themselves in the shade of the wreck that is their family-their lonely, lovely mother Ammu (who loves by night the man her children love by day), their blind grandmother Mammachi (who plays Handel on her violin), their beloved uncle Chacko (Rhodes scholar, pickle baron, radical Marxist, bottom-pincher), their enemy Baby Kochamma (ex-nun and incumbent grandaunt), and the ghost of an imperial entomologist's moth (with unusually dense dorsal tufts).When their English cousin and her mother arrive on a Christmas visit, the twins learn that Things Can Change in a Day. That lives can twist into new, ugly shapes, even cease forever. The brilliantly plotted story uncoils with an agonizing sense of foreboding and inevitability. Yet nothing prepares you for what lies at the heart of it. 538 $a Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 0 $a Social classes $z India $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Twins $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Psychological fiction $v Audio cassette. 651 0 $a India $v Fiction. 700 1 $a Peters, Donada. 710 2 $a hoopla digital. 856 40 $u https://www.hoopladigital.com/title/11822337 $z Instantly available on hoopla. 856 42 $z Cover image $u https://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/bsa_9781538407707_180.jpeg 941 $a 1 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006115712.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=236D3F8ABF9311E7812CC30897128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
