Her cousin Sudha is the daughter of the black sheep of that same family. Sudha is startlingly beautiful; Anju is not. Despite those differences, since the day on which the two girls were born, the same day their fathers died-mysteriously and violently-Sudha and Anju have been sisters of the heart. Bonded in ways even their mothers cannot comprehend, the two girls grow into womanhood as if their fates as well as their hearts were merged. But, when Sudha learns a dark family secret, that connection is shattered. For the first time in their lives, the girls know what it is to feel suspicion and distrust. Urged into arranged marriages, Sudha and Anju's lives take opposite turns. Sudha becomes the dutiful daughter-in-law of a rigid small-town household. Anju goes to America with her new husband and learns to live her own life of secrets. When tragedy strikes each of them, however, they discover that despite distance and marriage, they have only each other to turn to. Set in the two worlds of San Francisco and India, this exceptionally moving novel tells a story at once familiar and exotic, seducing listeners from the first page with the lush prose we have come to expect from Divakaruni. Sister of My Heart is a novel destined to become as widely beloved as it is acclaimed. 538 $a Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 0 $a Women $z Kolkata $z Kolkata $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Kolkata (India) $v Fiction. 700 1 $a Whelan, Julia, $d 1984- 710 2 $a hoopla digital. 856 40 $u https://www.hoopladigital.com/title/11270149 $z Instantly available on hoopla. 856 42 $z Cover image $u https://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ttm_9781452626017_180.jpeg 941 $a 1 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20161103011709.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=26B72998A18B11E6AED112AEDAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
