Bonita is away from her home in India to learn Spanish. She is alone, somewhere she has no connection to. It is bliss.\nAnd then a woman approaches her. The woman claims to recognize Bonita because she is the spitting image of her mother, who made the same journey from India to Mexico as a young artist. No, says Bonita, my mother didn’t paint. She never travelled to Mexico. But this strange woman insists, and so Bonita follows her. Into a story where Bonita and her mother will move apart and come together, and where the past threatens to flood the present, or re-write it.\n**Praise for Anita Desai**\nHypnotically beautiful and subtle’ - Financial Times\n‘Bewitchingly beautiful’ - The Times\n‘Profoundly elegiac’ - New Statesman","brand":"Pan Macmillan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50415868444960,"sku":"9781035044641","price":8.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9781035044641.jpg?v=1781396087","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/rosarita-anita-desai-9781035044641","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
