Sobre este artículo
New York City, NY: Doubleday, 2002. First Edition. First Printing.. Hardcover. Fine/Fine Dust Jacket.. New York City, NY: Doubleday, 2002. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. First Edition/First Printing. 373 pages. The author's novel/sequel to "Sister of My Heart". The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni's "The Vine of Desire". One of her best books. "Peopled by Indian immigrants and, just as palpably, by their hopes and dreams. As one character says, 'All immigrants are dreamers but they're practical about it. They know what's OK to dream about, and what isn't'. The novel stands alone as an exploration of the contemporary immigrant experience. Anju and Sudha, cousins and best friends since their Calcutta girlhood, find themselves in the Bay Area, Anju with a husband and Sudha with a baby daughter. Each covets what the other has until finally their relationship collapses. Anju finds solace among her fellow Berkeley students, while the beautiful Sudha learns, for the first time, what it's like to pay her own way" (Publishers Weekly). An absolute "must-have" title for Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni collectors. This copy is very prominently and beautifully signed in black ink-pen on the title page by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. This title is a contemporary classic. This is one of few such signed copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws, are subsequent printings, or are remainder-marked. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A scarce signed copy thus. One of the most brilliant American writers of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER CHITRA BANERJEE DIVAKARUNI TITLES IN OUR CATALOG). ISBN 0385497296.
Sinopsis
The beloved characters of Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni's bestselling novel Sister of My Heart are reunited in this powerful narrative that challenges the emotional bond between two lifelong friends, as the husband of one becomes dangerously attracted to the other.Anju and Sudha formed an astounding, almost psychic connection during their childhood in India. When Anju invites Sudha, a single mother in Calcutta, to come live with her and her husband, Sunil, in California, Sudha foolishly accepts, knowing full well that Sunil has long desired her. As Sunil's attraction rises to the surface, the trio must struggle to make sense of the freedoms of America--and of the ties that bind them to India and to one another.From the Trade Paperback edition.
