Rajni, a school principal is a stickler for order. Jezmeen, a thirty-year-old struggling actress, fears her big break may never come. Shirina, the peacemaking "good" sister married into wealth and enjoys a picture-perfect life. On her deathbed, their mother voices one last wish: that her daughters will make a pilgrimage together to the Golden Temple in Amritsar to carry out her final rites. After a trip to India with her mother long ago, Rajni vowed never to return. But she's always been a dutiful daughter, and cannot, even now, refuse her mother's request. Jezmeen has just been publicly fired from her television job, so the trip to India is a welcome break to help her pick up the pieces of her broken career. Shirina's in-laws are pushing her to make a pivotal decision about her married life; time away will help her decide whether to meekly obey, or to bravely stand up for herself for the first time. Arriving in India, these sisters will make unexpected discoveries about themselves, their mother, and their lives--and learn the real story behind the trip Rajni took with their Mother long ago--a momentous journey that resulted in Mum never being able to return to India again."-- $c from publisher's description. 650 0 $a Sisters $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Women travelers $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Panjabis (South Asian people) $z England $v Fiction. 651 0 $a India $v Fiction. 650 7 $a FICTION / Cultural Heritage. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Panjabis (South Asian people) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01052176 650 7 $a Sisters. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01119758 650 7 $a Women travelers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01178642 651 7 $a India. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01210276 651 7 $a England. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01219920 650 7 $a Sisters $v Fiction. $2 sears 650 7 $a Mothers $v Fiction. $2 sears 650 7 $a Women travelers $v Fiction. $2 sears 651 7 $a India $v Fiction. $2 sears 655 0 $a FICTION / Cultural Heritage. 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726589 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. $2 lcgft 941 $a 1 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20200610030248.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4C49CE7EAAE011EAB9A2E32697128E48 994 $a Z0 $b LJWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
