Book Summary
Missy is a sweeping literary novel about Savi, a brilliant young woman in Madras who uses languages to glimpse a future beyond St Ursula's Convent. Part coming‑of‑age saga, part immigrant journey, this debut invites adult readers who love character‑driven stories, rich histories, and intimate explorations of identity. The tone is hopeful and perceptive, blending warmth with the ache of history to illuminate a woman’s courage and resilience.
Structured as a deeply human, time‑spanning journey, Missy follows Savi from her early years in India to a reinvented life in Chicago, where she becomes Missy and builds a family with love and purpose. You meet Ananda, her lover, and later Varun, a doctor who tests the balance of her carefully rebuilt world. The narrative moves with lyrical prose, alternating between memory and present, painting vivid settings and intimate moments that feel both expansive and immediate. It is a story about love, lineage, and the choices that define a life, told with pace, tenderness, and a generous heart for the complexities of belonging.
Missy rewards readers with a deeper understanding of immigrant experiences and the courage it takes to face one’s history. It leaves you hopeful, moved, and more aware of how the past shapes who we become, long after the last page is turned.
