Mala and Ronak are surprisingly less comfortable with their dual Indian and American roots than their parents, part of an immigrant community that has happily embraced the New World. Told that their mother is about to die, they return home to the Midwest, where Mala persuades Ronak that they should immerse themselves in Indian culture by learning to cook their mother’s favorite recipes. Then Ronak hits upon the idea of capturing their experience in book and film, and all hell breaks loose. Majmudar’s Partitions was among Kirkus’s best debut novels and Booklist’s best works of historical fiction of 2011, which bodes well for this new novel
