She was a Bengali Brahmin, raised to be subservient in a male-centered culture of arranged marriages. Two years later, she sent a telegram to Calcutta, notifying her parents that she had wed a fellow student on her lunch hour. The epochal distance between her upbringing in India and her adulthood as a prize-winning American writer fills her new novel, "Desirable Daughters," the latest selection of the Talking Volumes book club sponsored by the Star Tribune, Minnesota Public Radio and the Loft Literary Center. In it, Mukherjee lays out the lives of three sisters in a family much like her own: bright, upper-class beauties who follow their sundry dreams all over the map. Mukherjee, 61, has written before of the collision of cultures in her novels "Jasmine" and "The Tiger's Daughter," and in "The Middleman and Other Stories," which won the National Book Critics Circle Award in 1988

news freetime travel homezone ... feedback Excerpt 7 from 'Desirable Daughters' by Bharati Mukherjee Published June 5, 2002 Editor's note: This is the final of seven serial installments from "Desirable Daughters," the current selection of the Talking Volumes book club sponsored by the Star Tribune, Minnesota Public Radio and the Loft Literary Center. It would be comforting to think of Tara Lata, daughter of my great-grandfather, as my grandmother, but the family trees of 19th-century Bengali Brahmins, particularly those from the country and those espousing traditional values, are more tangled than anything found in "the Beautiful Forest." The Tree-Bride is stuck on a remote siding of the "Gangooly" family tree. The Gangopadhaya trunk line that leads directly to my mother, my sisters, and me runs through Jai Krishna's ninth wife and the birth of my grandfather in 1909, when Jai Krishna was 70 years old. The display of raw greed by the dead groom's family at the very moment of its deepest grief could have brought Jai Krishna back to Dacca, back to the progressive ideas of Keshub Mitter and Dr. Roy, with an apology for having gone temporarily overboard on romanticized Hinduism. From now on, he might have said, I'll stick to the law (even the 1872 law against child-marriage). Having seen ignorance and superstition up close, I'll settle these horrendous injustices and irrational lawsuits. A venomous snake, after all, is destined to discharge its venom, whether Goddess Manasha is propitiated or not. To which Keshub Mitter might have answered, "We must educate our snakes not to bite."

Jasmine Points For Discussion Further Reading The author was born in Calcutta, India, in 1940; she grew up in a wealthy, traditional family. She studied in a Bengali-medium school for the first few years and learnt English when she travelled with her family for three years in Europe at the age of eight. She attended the universities of Calcutta and Baroda, where she earned a Masters in English and Ancient Indian culture, and then went to America in 1961. She was awarded a Masters in Fine Arts and a Ph.D. in English from the University of Iowa. She does not want to be classified as a "postcolonial" writer, rather she aims to create a literature of and about the "new immigrant" to the United States, a literature that "embodies her sense of what it means to be a woman writer of Bengali-Indian origin who has lived in, and been indelibly marked by, both Canada and the United States" ( Holders of the Word: An Interview with Bharati Mukherjee ). She says in this interview with Tina Chen and S.X. Goudie:

Bharati Mukherjee, Jasmine , (New York: Fawcett Crest, 1989). Mukherjee was born in Calcutta, India in 1940 to upper-caste (Brahmin) parents. She emigrated first to the United States in 1961, and then to Canada in 1968. She is a naturalized citizen of both countries. She married an American in 1963 while completing her MFA and Ph.D. at the University of Iowa. She has written numerous critically acclaimed books, of which Jasmine is one of the most recent. Most of her novels reflect her personal experiences traveling between two worlds; her native India and North America (represented by the USA and Canada). All of her books deal with young women trying to cross cultural boundaries, reconcile old and new identities, and somehow create a stable life. Mukherjee actually returned to India with her husband in 1973, but she no longer felt at home. She found a world far less innocent than she remembered, and found that fondly remembered traditions now hid fear and oppression (especially for women). As a result, most of her work also deals with the promises and pitfalls of what we call “globalization” in HIS 212.

Theia Books an Imprint of Hyperion Books var site="sm6AmyBean2" Desirable Daughters by Bharati Mukherjee Book Review by Amy Coffin Click the pic to buy the book. Tara Chatterjee is the youngest daughter of a privileged Indian family. At thirty-six, she's a divorced single mother raising a teenage son in San Francisco. Tara's comfortable life ends with the arrival of a young man claiming to be her nephew. If he speaks the truth, it would mean Tara's sister secretly had a baby twenty-five years ago. Social custom and proper Indian upbringing prevent Tara from simply blurting out her suspicions. Yet, keeping quiet may put her family in danger. The quest for more information leads Tara on a journey of self-discovery. The mysterious stranger/possible nephew is merely a portion of the tale. Tara left India to marry a computer genius and multi-millionaire. Since then she has divorced, bringing shame to the family and providing evidence that she's forgetting her heritage and family position back home. Desirable Daughters is also a story of three sisters and the evolving Indian culture. Mukherjee paints a clear picture of her cast. Attention to social class, castes, and the clash between old and new India are presented. The players spend a great deal of time remembering their place and living up to an image that is slowly losing superiority.

Dubuque St. in downtown Iowa City. The free reading will be broadcast on the "Live from Prairie Lights" series, originating on UI radio station WSUI, AM 910. Listen on the internet at < http://wsui.uiowa.edu/ >. "Desirable Daughters" follows the diverging paths taken by three sisters born into a wealthy Brahmin family in Calcutta, India. Constrained by a society with little regard for women, each of the three intelligent and artistic girls rebels in her own way, leading them to three different continents as the strength of their relationship survives. A Publishers Weekly review concluded, "It should take nothing away from the achievements of new young writers of South Asian origin to state that Mukherjee eclipses all of them in her new novel, the highlight of her career to date. Only a writer with mature vision, a sense of history and a long-nurtured observation of the Indo-American community could have created this absorbing tale of two rapidly changing cultures and the flash points where they intersect… Mukherjee has always been considered a significant writer. Here she bursts out as a star."
