About the Author:
Newly arrived in Canada, Kamini is plunged into the past by her mother's strange postcards and telephone calls. Haunted by Saroja's words. Kamini tries to make sense of the eccentric family she has left behind. Meanwhile her embittered mother travels alone by train across India, entertaining fellow passengers with tales of her long, eventful life.
A vivid portrait of two Indian women of different generations, Tamarind Mem explores the mutability of memory and the deep ties of love and resentment between mothers and daughters.
Anita Rau Badami's short fiction has been published in The Malahat Review, Event, The Toronto Review of Contemporary Writing, and the anthology Boundless Alberta. She lives in Vancouver.
