The Ex Daughters Of Tolstoy House - Paperback

by Arunima Tenzin Tara (Author)

Meera appears to be living the perfect life. She has a good husband,

Ambarish, and three obedient daughters, Sujata, Kavita and Naina. But

Ambarish's odd disappearances in the middle of the night and the salt he

leaves scattered on the floor, all lead her to a dark secret. One that brings the

past into the present, and threatens to consume her daughters' lives.

Naina is used to following her father's orders, it's how her mother has raised

her. So when he calls on her to wipe blood off a dead body, Naina obliges,

after all, she has been doing this for nearly thirty years. But this time, the

body is not a stranger. It's her mother.

Forced to reckon with her own complicity in the act, Naina must navigate her

family's history, if only to provide the next generation with a better life.

In this brilliant debut, Arunima Tenzin Tara writes with the skill of a master

storyteller, and the power of her prose turns this macabre novel of crime into

a near-hypnotic study of evil that will stay with you long after the last page is

turned.
