Original Title Jasmine
Edition Language English
Lifetimes ago, under a banyan tree in the village of Hasnapur, an astrologer cupped his ear ... and foretold my widowhood and exile,` relates Jyoti, fifth cursed daughter in a family of nine. Though she can`t escape fate, Jyoti reinvents herself time and again. She leaves her dusty Punjabi village to marry as Jasmine; travels rough, hidden airways and waters to America to reemerge as Jase, an illegal `day mummy` in hip Manhattan; and lands beached in Iowa`s farmlands as Jane, mother to an adopted teenage Vietnamese refugee and `wife` to a banker. Bharati Mukherjee (The Middleman and Other Stories) makes each world exotic, her lyrical prose broken only by the violence Jasmine almost casually recounts and survives.
