Der Brennende Garten

Young Tamil woman Sashi has only one dream: to become a doctor, like her grandfather and her beloved eldest brother—and like K, a boy from her neighborhood with whom she shares a special bond. But when civil war engulfs her country, Sashi is forced to fight for her dreams and her hope as the world around her falls apart. With remarkable narrative power, V. V. Ganeshananthan paints the portrait of a young woman searching for her own path between ideology and humanity, between homeland and exile.
