First Darling of the Morning is the powerful and poignant memoir
of bestselling author Thrity Umrigar, tracing the arc of her Bombay
childhood and adolescence from her earliest memories to her
eventual departure for the United States at age twenty-one. It is
an evocative, emotionally charged story of a young life steeped in
paradox; of a middle-class Parsi girl attending Catholic school in
a predominantly Hindu city; of a guilt-ridden stranger in her own
land, an affluent child in a country mired in abysmal poverty. She
reveals intimate secrets and offers an unflinching look at family
issues once considered unspeakable as she interweaves two
fascinating coming-of-age stories--one of a small child, and one of
a nation.
