At a party to celebrate her friend's wedding anniversary, a young woman spills a dangerous secret. A group of girls mourns the loss of their strange, mysterious neighbour. A dutiful daughter seeks to impress her father even as she escapes his reach. A wife weighs the odds of staying in her marriage when both her reality and the alternative are equally frightening. An aunt comes to terms with an impulsive mistake committed decades ago. In this wildly original and hauntingly subversive collection of short stories, Sayantani Dasgupta brings to life unforgettable women and their quest for agency. They are violent and nurturing, sacred and profane. They are friends, lovers, wives, sisters and mothers. Unapologetic and real, they embrace the entire range of the human experience, from the sweetest of loves and sacrifices to the most horrific of crimes. 505 00 $g Acknowledgements. $t Knots -- $t A hard kind of love -- $t The reader -- $t Miss Josephine -- $t Shaaji and Satnam -- $t If only somewhere -- $t The waitress -- $t Another life -- $t Sisters -- $t Knots -- $g Acknowledgements. 650 0 $a Short stories, American $y 21st century. 650 7 $a Short stories, American. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01117064 655 7 $a Short stories. $2 lcgft 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117014646.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F0E127F456B111EEB3013A8641ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
