Fasting, Feasting
Uma is the eldest and plainest child in an Indian family and, well into middle age, she is still single, caring for her aging parents. Her privileged, American-educated brother becomes involved with a Massachusetts family whose luxurious lifestyle contrasts starkly with the life of Uma and her parents back in India. Told first from Uma`s point of view, then from her brother`s, this novel illuminates both cultures. It was a finalist for the Booker Prize in 1999.
