Madhuri Vijay
In the wake of her mother's death, Shalini, a privileged and restless young woman from Bangalore, sets out for a remote Himalayan village in the troubled northern region of Kashmir. Certain that the loss of her mother is somehow connected to the decade-old disappearance of Bashir Ahmed, a charming Kashmiri salesman who frequented her childhood home, she is determined to confront him. But upon her arrival, Shalini is brought face to face with Kashmir's politics, as well as the tangled history of the local family that takes her in. And when life in the village turns volatile and old hatreds threaten to erupt into violence, Shalini finds herself forced to make a series of choices that could hold dangerous repercussions for the very people she has come to love.

You hear the statistics on the news but you can’t really grasp the pervasive social impact of the conflict until you spend a night holding your sobbing sister-in-law who is terrified because her son didn’t come home that night or witnessed the random violence of a soldier swinging a stick from the back of a passing jeep and knocking your neighbor, an old man carrying buckets of milk home to his family, to the ground, or spend day after day playing at home with nieces and nephews because their school is closed. Again. After decades of this daily uncertainty, what kind of future are these kids going to have? Without education they will continue to be vulnerable to emotional, political manipulation.
Sorry for the soapbox but the book really inspired me and I hope it touches you as well.

There is a political backdrop to this book. There is the father's love of American jazz. There are the dynamics of a sometimes strained mother-daughter relationship. I loved this and the narration, even if I sometimes wanted to yell at Shalini!
Interesting book with a lot to think about
