Starting with a ghost story set in Goa, India in the 1950s, the collection shifts to the unique perspectives of two adolescents, Aiden and Ally Pinto. Both first generation Canadians, these siblings tackle their adventures in a predominantly white suburb with innocence, intelligence and a timid foot in two distinct cultures. Derek Mascarenhas takes a fresh look at the world of the new immigrant and the South Asian experience in Canada. In these stories, a daughter questions her father's love at an Ikea grand opening; an aunt remembers a safari-gone-wrong in Kenya; an uncle's unrequited love is confronted at a Goan Association picnic; a boy tests his faith amidst a school-yard brawl; and a childhood love letter is exchanged during the building of a backyard deck. Singularly and collectively, these stories will move the reader with their engaging narratives and authentic voices."-- $c Provided by publisher. 530 $a Issued also in electronic formats. 650 0 $a Short stories, Canadian $y 21st century. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Mascarenhas, Derek, 1982- $t Coconut dreams. $d Toronto, Ontario : Book*hug Press, 2019 $z 9781771664820 $z 9781771664820 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191210015955.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190806080324.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=02CBD0229C8F11E981649E3E97128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
