A bold, inventive, and fiercely original debut novel that begins with an uncle dead and his tween nieces private confession to the readershe and her sister killed him, and they blame the British.I have been waiting for Nina McConigleys debut novel for years and its even better than I could have imagined. Celeste Ng, New York Times bestselling author of Our Missing HeartsSpirited and witty, stylish and audacious...Its avid curiosity about the world, its alertness to history, and its enormously fun storytellingwith a twist at the endheld me in their spell. Megha Majumdar, New York Times bestselling author of A BurningSummer, 1986. The Creel sisters, Georgie Ayyar and Agatha Krishna, welcome their aunt, uncle and young cousinnewly arrived from Indiainto their house in rural Wyoming where theyll all live together. Because this is what families do. That is, until the sisters decide that its time for their uncle to die.According to Georgie, the British are to blame. And to understand why, you need to hear her story. She details the violence hiding in their house and history, her onceunshakeable bond with Agatha Krishna, and her understanding of herself as an IndianAmerican in the heart of the West. Her account is, at every turn, cheeky, unflinching, and infectiously inflected with the trappings of teendom, including the magazine quizzes that help her make sense of her life. At its heart, the tale she weaves is:a) a vivid portrait of an extended familyb) a moving story of sisterhoodc) a playful ode to the 80sd) a murder mystery (of sorts)e) an unexpected and unwaveringly powerful meditation on history and language, trauma and healing, and the meaning of independenceOr maybe its really:f) all of the above.
