Like the sweet heat of a palate-pleasing curry or the brilliant
radiance of bougainvillea, the short stories in Mary Anne
Mohanraj's "Bodies in Motion" will delight the senses and
sensibilities. Her tales follow two generations of two families
living on the cusp of disparate worlds, America and Sri Lanka --
their lives and ties shaped, strengthened, devastated, and altered
by the emigrant-immigrant ebb and flow. Through stunning,
effervescent prose, intimate moments are beautifully distilled,
revealing the tug-of-war between generations and gender in stories
sensual and honest, chronicling love, ambition, and the spiritual
and sexual quests of mothers and daughters, fathers and sons.
