From the bestselling author of Mistress of Spices comes a spellbounding tale of mothers and daughters, love and belonging. Rakhi, a young painter and single mother, is struggling to come to terms with her relationship with ex-husband, Sonny, a hip Bay Area DJ, and with her dream-teller mother, who has rarely spoken about her past or her native India. Rakhi ha her hands full, juggling a creative dry spell, raising her daughter, and trying to save the Berkeley teahouse she co-owns. But greater challenges are to come. After a national tragedy turns her world upside down, Rakhi loses her mother in a freak car accident. But uncovering her mother's dream journals allows Rakhi to discover her mother's long kept secrets, and ultimately to confront her fears and revisit Sonny's place in her heart.
Great read. Mother-daughter, contemporary multi-cultural America, friendship, marriage - rich story, lush writing, mystical.
I LOVED this easy-reading book. Such interesting psychological studies of mother-daughter, two good friends, a conjugal relationship. Well done!
