Book ID/图书代码： 08090014B71534

English Summary/英文概要： ’You were adopted’. Three simple words, in a letter accompanying her parent’s will, tear Nisha’s carefully ordered world apart. Raised in England, by her caring but emotionally reserved parents, Nisha has never been one to take risks. Now, with the scrawled address of an Indian convent begins a search for the mother and family she never knew and the awakening of childhood memories long forgotten. The secrets, culture and people that Nisha discover will change her life forever. And, as her eyes are opened to a side of herself she didn’t know existed, Nisha realizes that she must also seek answers to the hardest question of all - why? Weaving together the stories of Nisha, Shilpa and Devi, The Forgotten Daughter explores powerfully and poignantly the emotional themes of motherhood, loss and identity - ultimately asking the question of what you would do out of love for your children? ’Renita D’Silva is a genius at evoking the sounds, sights and aromas of India. A major new talent - I can’t wait for her next novel.’ Linda Kavanagh

About the Author/作者介绍： 瑞丽塔•德•席尔瓦出生在风景如画的印度海滨城市，班加罗尔，现在她与丈夫和孩子住在伦敦。在《季风的记忆》中，瑞丽塔想把印度小说的良好传统和像作家乔迪•皮考特和戴安娜•张伯伦充满情感的叙事方式结合在一起。我们认为她在这方面做到了极致。
