Description

A House Called Askival by Merryn Glover is a moving and panoramic novel that explores the turbulent history of India from Independence to the present day. Set against the backdrop of the northern hill-station of Mussoorie in Uttarakhand, the story follows James Connor as he confronts his past and seeks forgiveness for a tragedy that has haunted him for decades. The author's own upbringing in South Asia is evident in this sensitive and assured debut, which draws on the complexities of family relationships, cultural heritage, and historical events to create a powerful narrative. When James' estranged daughter Ruth returns home after 24 years away, she must confront her own devastating experiences and the chasm that has grown between them. As they navigate their complicated past, both James and Ruth must find a way to heal and move forward, in order to cross the divide between them and find peace.
