Still reeling from the death of her sister years earlier, she leaves South India to attend graduate school at Columbia University. In New York, Vega straddles many different worlds, eventually moving in and out of a series of relationships that take her through the striving world of academia, the intellectual isolation of the immigrant suburbs, and, ultimately, the loneliness of single motherhood. But it is the birth of Vega's daughter that forces the novel's central question: What does it mean to make a home? Written with dry humor and searing insight, Habitations is an intimate story of identity, immigration, expectation and desire, and of love lost and found. But it is also a universal story of womanhood, and the ways in which women are forced to navigate multiple loyalties: to family, to community, and to themselves. 650 0 $a Single mothers $v Fiction. 650 0 $a College students $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Women $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Psychological fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. $2 lcgft 941 $a 5 952 $l DBPE173 $d 20240507010402.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20240503010602.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20240502012323.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20240419010057.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20240409013008.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=CF0AA11CF63611EE80258AC022ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b JIUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
