Motherland
by Vineeta Vijayaraghavan
Maya has not been back to Kerala, where she was born, for three years. A lively fifteen-year-old, Maya would rather be with her New York friends, but her mother wants her to embrace her Indian heritage and to appreciate the great love and sacrifice of the relatives who raised her until she was four. Sanjay uncle and Reema auntie and their daughter Brindha welcome her. But it is Maya's grandmother Ammamma, Maya's first "mother," around whom her summer revolves. Over the course of three months, Maya comes to terms with her dual loyalties and learns the cause of the estrangement she feels between her mother and herself. Motherland is not only a beautiful coming-of-age novel but also the poignant story of a young girl who discovers that her home-her motherland-can be anywhere.
The Other Family
by Jacqueline Carey
Jacqueline Carey made her literary debut in The New Yorker and then published her collected stories about young Manhattan in an extraordinarily well-received first book, GOOD GOSSIP. Writers like Jamaica Kincaid and Fan Lebowitz praised Carey's wit, her sharp eye, and her fresh voice, and the reviewers agreed. The New York Times called the book "shrewd" and "powerfully charming" and Newsweek wrapped up a glowing review with the simple word "Wow!"
