Description
'Fiction though this book may be, these stories are built from truth and history,' Pooled Ink Reviews on Goodreads.
The stories span a range of emotions and also bring to life the varied culture and social spectrum of India. Set in the nineteenth century, A Tapestry of Tears is about a young mother's struggle to save her infant daughters from the remorseless practice of kurimar - the putting to sleep of female infants at birth. This collection of a novelette and twelve short stories explores relationships and the strength of the human spirit. A grieving husband resents the presence of his new daughter-in-law. Deafness has nothing to do with communication in a marriage, or does it? Women use embroidery to create a talisman for pain. Then there is the man who loves playing mind games at his wife's expense, a family that struggles with the decision to move the aged mother into a home, and a young woman who sacrifices love for family honor.
