Product Description An enchanting, magicalrealist comingofage story about an unconventional childhood.Mina Pereira longs to be normal, and it s no wonderwith barometric antennae wired to her brain she feels like an outcast. Her overwhelmingly precocious sister, Deepa, who s read all of Dostoevsky by the time she is eight years old, and her younger sister, Shanti, painfully normal beyond reproach, don t help matters either. When an illness leaves Mina s mother barren and literally roosting in trees, Mina finds solace in the special bond she shares with her father. But as her beloved father escapes to the basement of their house to get away from his increasingly crazy wife, madness takes hold of Mina s family, and the house they live in falls into chaotic disrepairuntil Dad tinkers one time too many with disastrous results. Through all of the heartache of Mina s childhood, she comes to an understanding about love and familywith maturity, clarity and ultimately, a deep humanity. Review [A] deeply affecting debut...the novel s greatest triumph is Mina: highly articulate but never false to her adolescent origins, this spirited author will draw readers in with her humor and good heart.
