Description
‘Anita Desai is a magnificent writer’ – Salman Rushdie From three times Booker-shortlisted author Anita Desai, Rosarita is a beautiful, haunting novel that explores memory, grief, and a young woman’s determination to forge her own path. A young student sits on a bench in a park in San Miguel, Mexico. Bonita is away from her home in India to learn Spanish. She is alone, somewhere she has no connection to. It is bliss. And then a woman approaches her. The woman claims to recognize Bonita because she is the spitting image of her mother, who made the same journey from India to Mexico as a young artist. No, says Bonita, my mother didn’t paint. She never travelled to Mexico. But this strange woman insists, and so Bonita follows her. Into a story where Bonita and her mother will move apart and come together, and where the past threatens to flood the present, or re-write it. **Praise for Anita Desai** ‘The language is hypnotically beautiful and subtle and the characterisation quietly precise’ – Financial Times ‘Bewitchingly beautiful’ – The Times ‘Profoundly elegiac’ – New Statesman —- ISBN: 9781035044436 | ISBN10: 1035044439 | ISBN-13: 978-1035044436
