Requests:  0 Summary:  Spanning the lifetime of one woman (1896-1962), The Toss of a Lemon brings readers intimately into a Brahmin household, into an India in the midst of social and political upheaval. Married at ten, widowed at eighteen, left with two children, Sivakami must wear widow's whites, shave her head, and touch no one from dawn to dusk. She is not allowed to remarry, and in the next sixty years she ventures outside her family compound only three times. She is extremely orthodox in her behavior except for one defiant act: She moves back to her dead husband's house and village to raise her children. That decision sets the course of her children's and grandchildren's lives, twisting their fates in surprising, sometimes heartbreaking ways.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult Fiction Viswanathan Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Fiction Viswanathan Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Fiction Viswanathan Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Fiction Viswanathan Checked In Add Copy to MyList Keaau P/S Library Adult Fiction Viswanathan Checked In Add Copy to MyList
