The Tiger's Daughter

A compelling novel of people and cultures in collision. 'The theme of adjusting to a new culture, the trials, tribulations and traumas that afflict immigrants trying to make it into the new world have been deftly handled... With a combination of malice and charm, irony and sympathy, Mukherjee describes how Tara is pushed to the edges of her old world yet exiled from the new, and how she tries vainly to reconcile the two worlds in her heart.' --The Tribune
