Small Days and Nights

Doshi's novel is moving and poetic, and narrator Siiri Scott excels with its well-developed dialogue. Following a divorce, Grace Marisola finds herself leaving the U.S. and returning to Pondicherry, India, to cremate her mother and settle her estate. There she discovers she has an older sister who has been institutionalized. Grace's journey is compelling and entertaining as she navigates her new family--her sister, Lucia, and a slew of supporting characters--and her new life. Scott's narration is pitch-perfect as the story explores the complexities of truth, culture, family, and the lives we build in the face of change and uncertainty. A beautifully written and narrated story. K.S.M. � AudioFile 2020, Portland, Maine
