Some books I have on my shelves I get really excited about, and really look forward to reading. Sometimes these books let me down, admittedly, but usually they live up to my expectations. But I also have other books on my shelves that I can't remember why or how I acquired them, and I'm not convinced I still want to read them, but then when I do they blow me away with how good they are. This falls into the latter category.Ostensibly, Mistress is the story of the bored Indian housewife, Radha, who is excited by the thrill of the young American man, Chris, who arrives to interview her Uncle about his kathakali dancing career, and the two have an affair. But this book is so much more than that. Interweaved with this story are various histories of her parents and grandparents, and it is this rich tapestry of history and storytelling, as well as the vivid setting of India and the cultural details about the kathakali dancing, that make this book what it is. Its quite a fat book, and could be quite daunting, but I would highly recommend it. Anita Nair er en av de siste spennende nykommerne fra India. Etter å ha lest debutromanen hennes "Damekupeen", som var fantastisk, kastet jeg meg begjærlig over denne. "Elskerinne" er en bok om et kjærlighetsforhold mellom en ulykkelig gift indisk kvinne og en vestlig journalist. Nair tar et spennende grep ved at vi får innblikk i alle de impliserte personenes tanker og følelser. En onkel av kvinnen, som hele sitt liv har gått sine egne veier, får også slippe til. Vi får innblikk i hvilke forventninger kvinnen og hennes ektemann har hatt til ekteskapet, og hvorfor de hele tiden skuffer hverandre. Ektemannen skjønner hva som skjer, men er på mange måter ute av stand til å forhindre det som skjer. "Elskerinne" når ikke helt opp til debutromanen, men er virkelig lesverdig! nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

When travel writer Christopher Stewart arrives at a lakeside resort in Kerala, India, to meet Koman, uncle of Radha and a famous dancer, he enters a world of masks and repressed emotions. From their first meeting, both Radha and her uncle are drawn to the enigmatic young man with his cello and his incessant questions about the past. The triangle quickly excludes Shyam, Radha's husband, who can only watch helplessly as she embraces Chris with a passion that Shyam has never been able to draw from her.
