A beautiful and brilliant portrait of two generations of women. Set in India?s railway colonies, this is the story of Kamini and her mother Saroja, nicknamed Tamarind Mem due to her sour tongue. While in Canada beginning her graduate studies, Kamini receives a postcard from her mother saying she has sold their home and is traveling through India. Both are forced into the past to confront their dreams and losses and to explore the love that binds mothers and daughters everywhere.

From the Inside Flap:

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.
