About this book
Twelve short stories explore the unsettled space between an old home and a new life. Bharati Mukherjee writes about Indian men and women negotiating migration, family expectations, ambition and estrangement in North America and beyond. The collection includes The World According to Hsü, alongside stories whose sharp observations reveal how belonging can be both desired and resisted. This Penguin Short Fiction paperback dates from 1985.
