Love and Tragedy

Spanning generations and cultures, this tale of unrequited love seems, on the surface, to be a tsk-tsking of what was, but in fact, seems to still be. From the story of the young bride, peering at the world from under a veil in 1929, to her addiction- recovering descendant 70 years later, each of us has the potential to make inaccurate assumptions based on our own desires. Based on family saga, Sahota weaves the two narratives together to create a book that is lyrical and desolate, but ultimately victorious.
