Tomb of Sand

Tomb of Sand by Geetanjali Shree Translated by Daisy Rockwell

 

the story begins in northern india with two women and one death.

gradually the story's path unfurls, more characters are introduced, they come and go, borders, doors and walls are characters as much as the people in this story ... the grandmother 'ma' is in deep depression after the death of her husband, she turns her back on her family and refuses to leave her bed, the writing is witty and detailed. i'm on page 184 and 'ma' has gone missing ... i'm hooked
