Five girls. Three generations. One great
American love story. You Bring the Distant Near explores sisterhood,
first loves, friendship, and the inheritance of culture--for better or
worse. Ranee, worried that her children are losing their Indian culture;
Sonia, wrapped up in a forbidden biracial love affair; Tara, seeking
the limelight to hide her true self; Shanti, desperately trying to make
peace in the family; Anna, fighting to preserve her Bengali
identity--award-winning author Mitali Perkins weaves together a sweeping
story of five women at once intimately relatable and yet entirely new.
Opening scene:
"The swimmers have finished their races and are basking in the sun."
I loved the culture, characters, food and family love in this book.
