Book ID/图书代码： 12760006B05090

English Summary/英文概要： Set in the railway colonies of India, Tamarind Woman tells a sweeping story of two generations of women. Kamini, an overachiever, lives in self-imposed exile in Canada. Her mother Saroja, nicknamed Tamarind Woman due to her sour tongue, is trapped by the customs of traditional Indian life. When Saroja informs her daughter that she has sold their house and is going alone on a train journey across India, both women are plunged into the past, confronting their dreams and disappointments as well as their long-held secrets. Lyrical, compassionate, and wise, Tamarind Woman is a powerful novel about family, memory, and the traditions that tear us apart and bring us together.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 本書的背景設在印度的鐵路殖民地，講述了一家兩代女性間的感人故事。
Kamini是一位成績特優生，自願在加拿大過著流放的生活。她的母親Saroja由於語言問題，而被冠以Tamarind Woman的稱號，同時深受傳統印度生活習慣的束縛。當Saroja告訴女兒她已經賣掉了房子，並且打算開始一場環繞印度的火車旅行時，兩個女人頓時陷入了對過去的沉思：她們的夢想與失落，以及她們埋藏已久的秘密。
這本抒情小說富有同情心與智慧，充滿強大的力量，講述了那些把我們分開又把我們連接在一起的家族關係，生活記憶和傳統道德。（from XMM）
