Description: Burnt Sugar by Avni Doshi Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Shortlisted for the 2020 Booker Prize, Avni Doshis Burnt Sugar is a searing literary debut novel set in India about mothers and daughters, obsession and betrayal. "I would be lying if I say my mothers misery has never given me pleasure," says Antara, Taras now-adult daughter. This is a love story and a story about betrayal--not between lovers but between a mother and a daughter. . . . In her youth, Tara was wild. She abandoned her arranged marriage to join an ashram, embarked on a stint as a beggar (mostly to spite her affluent parents), and spent years chasing a disheveled, homeless "artist," all with little Antara in tow. But now Tara is forgetting things, and Antara is an adult--an artist and married--and must search for a way to make peace with a past that haunts her as she confronts the task of caring for a woman who never cared for her. Sharp as a blade and laced with caustic wit, Burnt Sugar unpicks the slippery, choking cord of memory and myth that binds mother and daughter: Is Taras memory loss real? Are Antaras memories fair? In vivid and visceral prose, Avni Doshi tells a story at once shocking and empathetic of a mother-daughter relationship and a daughters search for self. A journey into shifting memories, altering identities, and the subjective nature of truth, Burnt Sugar is the stunning and unforgettable debut of a major new voice in contemporary fiction.
