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.

Recensione
ADVANCE PRAISE FOR THE TOSS OF A LEMON "This soaring new novel, inspired by the author's family history, will draw comparisons to The God of Small Things, but Viswanathan has a voice and a vision all her own."--Chatelaine magazine (Canada)
