Maya and her mother, who haven't talked much since Maya's parents' bitter divorce, travel from New Jersey to India to sell Maya's grandfather's family home. Maya is a budding photographer, and the sharp powers of observation that cause her to reach for her ever-ready camera are reflected in the equally acute perception she brings to her narration. The setting and characters are vividly drawn. Glos.
