Description
Western Lane is a powerful and moving novel about grief, sisterhood, and a teenage girl's struggle to transcend herself. When her mother dies, Gopi's father enlists her in a training regimen, and the sport becomes her world.
As she grows apart from her sisters, Gopi finds solace in the game, guided by its rhythms and the players who have come before her. But on the court, she is not alone - she is with her father, and with Ged, a boy with his own formidable talent.
This stunning debut explores the closeness of sisterhood, the immigrant experience, and the collective overcoming of grief, making for an unforgettable coming-of-age story.
