Following the greatly acclaimed first two volumes in this series, this collection brings together more first-rate stories by South Asian women that--whether set in their home countries or those of their adoption--explore with profound and sensitive insight the inner tenor of women's lives caught between places, cultures, and generations. Precisely crafted and sensitively told, each of these twenty stories offers us a wonderful glimpse into the complex and manifold world of the South Asian women of North America.
