DESCRIPTION:Shobha Rao discusses her book, "An Unrestored Woman"\n\n1947: the Indian 
 subcontinent is partitioned into two separate countries, India and 
 Pakistan. And with one decree, countless lives are changed forever.\n\nAn 
 Unrestored Woman explores the fault lines in this mass displacement of 
 humanity: a new mother is trapped on the wrong side of the border; a 
 soldier finds the love of his life but is powerless to act on it; an 
 ambitious servant seduces both master and mistress; a young prostitute 
 quietly, inexorably plots revenge on the madam who holds her hostage. 
 Caught in a world of shifting borders, Rao’s characters have reached 
 their tipping points.\n\nIn paired stories that hail from India and 
 Pakistan to the United States, Italy, and England, we witness the 
 ramifications of the violent uprooting of families, the price they pay over 
 generations, and the uncanny relevance these stories have in our world 
 today.\n****\n\n"This transporting debut will linger in your mind long past 
 the last page." - Karen Joy Fowler, New York Times best-selling author of 
 We Are AlL Completely Beside Ourselves, winner of the PEN/Faulkner Award 
 and shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize\n\n
