Descriere
Full of warmth and laugh-out-loud funny, the new novel from the author of Erotic Stories for Punjabi Widows Sometimes you need to leave home to discover your roots... Sometimes you have to leave home to find your roots... British-Punjabi sisters Rajni, Jezmeen and Shirina Shergill have never been close but when their mother dies, she has only one request: that they take a pilgrimage across India to carry out her final rites.
While an extended family holiday is the last thing they want, each sister has her own reasons to run away from her life. Rajni feels out of control for the first time; Jezmeen's career is on the skids after a viral incident; and Shirina's perfect life is starting to crumble. As the miles rack up on their jaunt across India, the secrets of the past and present are sure to spill out...
Textul de pe ultima copertă
The British-born Shergill sisters—Rajni, Jezmeen, and Shirina—barely got along growing up, and as adults have grown even further apart. But on her deathbed, their mother voices one last wish: that her daughters will make a pilgrimage to India to carry out her final rites.
After a trip to India as a teenager, Rajni vowed never to return, but as a dutiful daughter she cannot refuse her mother’s request. Struggling actress Jezmeen leaps at the chance to go, while Shirina’s wealthy in-laws are pushing her to make a pivotal decision.
By turns funny, heartfelt, and wonderfully insightful, The Unlikely Adventures of the Shergill Sisters illuminates the bonds of family, sisterhood, and heritage.
