Description
Burnt Sugar is a searing literary debut novel about the complex and often fraught relationship between mothers and daughters. The story follows Antara, a young woman who must come to terms with her past when her mother's memory loss forces her to confront the truth about their complicated history.
Through vivid and visceral prose, Avni Doshi explores the subjective nature of truth and the power of memory to shape our understanding of ourselves and those around us. With a sharp and caustic wit, the novel unpicks the tangled threads of memory and myth that bind mother and daughter, raising questions about the nature of reality and the complexities of human relationships.
This is a powerful and unforgettable debut that sheds light on the often-overlooked world of mother-daughter relationships, revealing the ways in which our past experiences can both define and destroy us.
