A remarkable literary novel by Geetanjali Shree, translated into English by Daisy Rockwell. Winner of the International Booker Prize in 2022, the novel follows an 80-year-old woman who, after the death of her husband, unexpectedly embarks on a transformative journey of self-discovery. Her travels eventually lead her across the border to Pakistan, where long-buried memories of the Partition of India resurface. Blending humor, grief, memory, identity, and history, the novel offers a profound meditation on borders—both physical and emotional—and the resilience of the human spirit.
