Long Listed for The Asian Man Literature Prize when published in
India as THE LAST PRETENCE.When Malika loses her longed-for
daughter at birth, it is not the only loss in the family: the
surviving twin -a boy - loses the love of his mother. He grows up
needing to be the daughter his mother wants, the son his scientist
father accepts, and more, with the guilt of being the one who
survived. In a recently independent India, haunted by its colonial
past and striving to find its identity, he struggles to find his
own self. Sarayu Srivatsa has created a moving family portrait,
richly-coloured by the vibrant culture and landscape of India,
where history, religion and gender collide in a family scarred by
the past and struggling with the future.
