The city bred Amit and the village-born Radhika fall in love at first sight, getting married three years later.
Looking forward to a wonderful life with her husband and family in Delhi, Radhika begins her new journey with stars in her eyes……only for things to come crashing when Amit’s mother Shanti ill-treats her. Hating her small-town daughter-in-law, Shanti is determined to break her son’s marriage from Day One.


And it looks like she has succeeded when Radhika leaves her husband one fine day, apparently giving him no explanation for her action.


While Radhika waits for her husband to pacify her and take her back, Amit is too hurt and upset to even contact her.


Will the heartbroken couple ever get back together? Especially after being separated for nearly two years? And even if they did, will Shanti let them live in peace?

Spotlight and Review of From An-other Land by Tanushree Ghosh

From An-Other Land
by 
Tanushree Ghosh

 Book: From An-Other land by Tanushree Ghosh


BLURB

Never has been the conversation on immigration more pertinent than now, post 2016 US elections. From cancellation of refugee protection and zero tolerance to undercurrent crackdown on H visas, the resurgence of nationalism is hitting the globalized population head-on. 

But what is immigration today? A question of life or death - fleeing of persecution? A compulsion? Or a mere pursuance of privilege? 
And what is the US today? A land of opportunities? Or a quagmire impossible to comprehend, inherently racist and selfish?

From An-Other Land dives deep into immigration today for the Indian diaspora and its many facets with characters who seek to define themselves in an intercultural setting that is less and less sure of itself. A reality check and a guide for anyone who wants to understand the modern-day US.

Review: 

From An-other Land is a book of many stories of a handful of characters that have immigrated to the USA. She has portrayed their individual lives and their challenges. 


The book starts with some characters taking the international flight as they form a line towards customs and check-in. The scenario was gripping and realistic as the many emotions surface for such individuals boarding a flight who plan on making a home away from their homes. The author well captured the anxiety and the uncertainty prevalent. 


Once landed the author then delves into the lives of each immigrant as he/she finds a place for themselves on the foreign soil. The characters are well defined as they try their best in becoming a somebody from a nobody. Plots that have been burrowed into are classic cases of immigration; such as the story of Meera, an ex-sister-in-law married to her brother-in-law. A cultural conflict of an Indian wanting to commit to an American. A young lady is making amends with her emotions as she wants to make her home as cozy as her home far away. A father who goes missing in India, and the emotional turmoil the son is facing while living in the US. The ambition to be a somebody but the marriage is falling apart leading to a fallout of the individual. However, I could not empathize with their struggles and their hardships. Maybe since the author would abruptly change gears within the story.


The stories of these characters are woven exquisitely allowing the reader to see all the shades of life: happiness, sorrow, hope, love, lust, success, suicide, and death. The author has written all her stories being unbiased, and nonjudgemental. She leaves stories with no conclusion allowing the reader to make her call on how the characters will turn around. Will Tarun come back and ask for Michelle's hand after seeking blessing from his parents? Will Meera ever get to see her husband? Will Raji be happy in her home? These are some of the questions the reader gets to foresee the ending based on her knowledge and expertise.

Dear Life,

I get it. You are fond of sending shitstorms my way.

I lost my parents and grew up with one relative after another.

A few months into my marriage, I discovered my husband in my best friend’s bed. 

Well, guess what? You made me one heck of a survivor! The joke's on you.

Now this ‘hot’ Doctor you sent my way-the one who moved in next door to my stepbrother--don’t think I will be fooled by his charm like everyone else who is eating out of his hand.

His smart quips, teasing words and piercing gazes do not scare me. I see him for the man because of whom I experienced several ‘firsts’--my first accident, my first ride in an ambulance, and not proud to say it, but my first arrest! 

I may not be able to get even with you Life, but I will get even with the Doc! It should be easy for he does have a habit of popping up wherever I go.

Yours insincerely,

Danika
