Book Summary
A young academic moves from India to the United States, where she navigates first love, a green card marriage, single motherhood, and more in this delightful novel, written with immediacy, warmth, and wry humor (Ha Jin, National Book Awardwinning author of Waiting).Vega Gopalan is adrift. Still reeling from the death of her sister years earlier, she leaves South India to attend graduate school at Columbia University. In New York, Vega straddles many different worlds, eventually moving in and out of a series of relationships that take her through the striving world of academia, the intellectual isolation of the immigrant suburbs, and, ultimately, the loneliness of single motherhood. But it is the birth of Vegas daughter that forces the novels central question: What does it mean to make a home? Written with dry humor and searing insight, Habitations is an irresistible debut (Deesha Philyaw, author of The Secret Lives of Church Ladies) about identity, immigration, expectation, desire, and love lost and found. But it is also a universal story of womanhood, and the ways in which women are forced to navigate multiple loyalties: to family, to community, and to themselves. A sweeping, immersive, and utterly perfect (Weike Wang, author of Chemistry) meditation on the many meanings of home and on the ways love and kinship can be found, even in the most unfamiliar of places, Habitations introduces Sheila Sundar as an electrifying new voice in literary fiction.
