This is a beautifully written novel about a widow in Ohio dealing
with the loss of her husband and country. After he died she has to
make a decision: go back to India, the place where her fondest
memories were born, or remain in Ohio with her only son and his
American wife. She marvels at how successful he has been adjusting
to American culture - eating American food, wearing American
clothes, and even speaking the way Americans do - but, she
questions whether or not she will be able to assimilate herself.
With the voice of her deceased husband to guide her, she struggles
to gain perspective on her new life while watching the drama of her
son's life as an immigrant in American unfold.
