Sinossi
The Toss of a Lemon is the debut of a major new writer. Spanning the lifetime of one woman (1896 1962), it brings us intimately into a Brahmin household, into an India we ve never before seen. Married at ten, widowed at eighteen, left with two children, Sivakami must wear widow s whites, shave her head, and touch no one from dawn to dusk. She is not allowed to remarry, and in the next sixty years ventures outside her family compound only three times. She is extremely orthodox in her behavior except for one defiant act: She moves back to her dead husband s house and village to raise her children. That decision sets the course of her children s and grandchildren s lives, twisting their fates in surprising, sometimes heartbreaking ways. Inspired by her grandmother's stories, Padma Viswanathan masterfully brings to life a profoundly exotic yet utterly recognizable family in the midst of social and political upheaval.
