A young student sits on a bench in a park in San Miguel, Mexico. Bonita is away from her home in India to learn Spanish. She is alone, somewhere she has no connection to. It is bliss. And then a woman approaches her. The woman claims to recognize Bonita because she is the spitting image of her mother, who made the same journey from India to Mexico as a young artist. No, says Bonita, my mother didn't paint. She never travelled to Mexico. But this strange woman insists, and so Bonita follows her. Into a story where Bonita and her mother will move apart and come together, and where the past threatens to flood the present, or re-write it. **Praise for Anita Desai** Hypnotically beautiful and subtle' - Financial Times 'Bewitchingly beautiful' - The Times 'Profoundly elegiac' - New Statesman","brand":"Pan Macmillan","offers":[{"title":"Used - good","offer_id":53270755017046,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9781035044436_1_afc37917-9f8a-4c19-a3b3-cb8f8546bde9.jpg?v=1777761941","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/anita-desai-rosarita-9781035044436","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
