Requests:  1 Summary:  "In the wake of an insignificant battle between two long-forgotten kingdoms in fourteenth-century southern India, a nine-year-old girl has a divine encounter that will change the course of history. After witnessing the death of her mother, the grief-stricken Pampa Kampana becomes a vessel for the goddess Parvati, who begins to speak out of the girl's mouth. Granting her powers beyond Pampa Kampana's comprehension, the goddess tells her that she will be instrumental in the rise of a great city called Bisnaga--literally 'victory city'--the wonder of the world. Over the next two hundred and fifty years, Pampa Kampana's life becomes deeply interwoven with Bisnaga's, from its literal sowing out of a bag of magic seeds to its tragic ruination in the most human of ways: the hubris of those in power. Whispering Bisnaga and its citizens into existence, Pampa Kampana attempts to make good on the task that Parvati set for her: to give women equal agency in a patriarchal world. But all stories have a way of getting away from their creator, and Bisnaga is no exception. As years pass, rulers come and go, battles are won and lost, and allegiances shift, the very fabric of Bisnaga becomes an ever more complex tapestry--with Pampa Kampana at its center"--Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Aina Haina Public Library Adult Fiction Rushdie Checked In Add Copy to MyList Ewa Beach P/S Library Adult Fiction Rushdie Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hanapepe Public Library Adult Fiction Rushdie Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult Fiction Rushdie Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Adult Fiction Rushdie Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Fiction Rushdie Checked In Add Copy to MyList CLOSED TEMPORARILY: Honokaa Public Library Adult Fiction Rushdie Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kahuku P/S Library Adult Fiction Rushdie Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Fiction Rushdie Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Fiction Rushdie Checked In Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 3 Next
