Item Description
Juliet yearns for the "ebb and flow of life lived avidly", for the pace and challenge of city living. The conflict between her love of husband and children and her own passionate need for expression is intensified by her move from smalltown Canada to Southern India.
The stifling restrictions on Juliet's freedom are magnified in the plight of her young widowed neighbor. The beautiful Yashoda longs to embrace the Western values that would release her from the strictures of Indian tradition. But the ancient mores are powerful and enduring, and challenging them inevitably leads to tragedy.
"A truly magnificent literary achievement." Booklist
"You can almost feel the energy surging through the novel...Its world of suffering and isolation is redeemed, not by a transcendent rhetoric...but by a furious compassion...The Ivory Swing is a mature work, rich and subtle." Toronto Star
