Description
In this poignant novel, an Asian immigrant living in Toronto is suddenly confronted with a life-altering crisis: false accusations of sexual assault threaten not only his reputation, but the fragile sense of belonging he has built in a new country. As he tries to make sense of what has happened, he navigates the competing pressures of cultural values, family responsibilities, and the possibility of a future with someone new. Spanning settings from Dar es Salaam to Toronto, the story traces how identity, community, and trust are tested when private lives collide with public judgment. With M. G. Vassanji’s incisive, compassionate storytelling, the book illuminates the immigrant experience—its dislocations, moral dilemmas, and the longing for “new land” that is never quite simple to claim.
