En esta conmovedora novela, Anita Desai explora las vidas contrastantes de Uma y Arun, hermanos que luchan por equilibrar las expectativas familiares tradicionales con sus deseos individuales. Uma, en la India, se siente atada a las demandas de sus padres, mientras que Arun, en Estados Unidos, se enfrenta a la confusión de una nueva cultura. A través de una prosa hermosa y un humor sutil, Desai teje una historia de dinámicas familiares, diferencias culturales y la búsqueda de la identidad en un mundo en constante cambio.
