Description
This extraordinary novel, winner of the International Booker Prize, introduces an unforgettable octogenarian matriarch in contemporary northern India. Following her husband's death, she defies convention by refusing to leave her bed, only to be revitalized by a mysterious golden cane. What follows is a series of liberating adventures that challenge her family's perceptions and her own. Rich with wordplay, folklore, and a feminist spirit, the book masterfully explores themes of identity, borders, and the profound joys of life.
