Enigmatic stories of vulnerability and unfamiliarity.

Lucky Girls is a great read for those who enjoy stories about cultural differences and the emotional struggles that come along with it. The stories capture the essence of the human experience, as seen through the eyes of characters who are often rootless and enroute to someplace else. The unique and distinctive feature of these heart-warming stories is the vulnerability and unfamiliarity experienced by the characters, making it a perfect choice for readers looking for an emotional and thought-provoking read.

Description

A collection of five stories, "Lucky Girls" is set in India and southern Asia. The characters - rootless, often enroute to someplace else - find themselves variously attracted to or repelled by unfamiliar landscapes where every object seems strange and every emotion is heightened. Living according to alien rules, these characters are also vulnerable in unexpected in the title story, a young woman who has been involved in an affair with an Indian man feels bound to both her memories and her adopted country after his death; the protagonist of 'Outside the Eastern Gate' returns to her childhood home in Delhi to find a house still inhabited by the impulsive, desperate spirit of her mother. 'Together, these stories form a whole of heartbreaking eloquence, yet each different strand has the resonance of a far longer work ...These surprising, generous stories signal the arrival of a born writer' - "Observer".
