Now in paperback, internationally bestselling author Indu Sundaresan presents a poignant collection of contemporary short stories about the challenges and consequences faced by women in Indian life today. Like Jhumpa Lahiri's Interpreter of Maladies, Indu Sundaresan's In the Convent of Little Flowers gives readers an eloquent and illuminating collection of stories about contemporary Indian life, exploring the cutting-edge issues that surround the clash between ancient tradition and modernity. In the collection's title story, a young woman adopted by an American family in Seattle receives a letter from Sister Mary Theresa, a nun at the Convent of Little Flowers in Chennai, where she stayed as a child. Unbeknownst to the Indian woman, the nun is her biological mother's sister. In another story, the grandmother of an Indian journalist begs her grandson to intervene and stop a young widow from being burned alive. And when a teenaged daughter bears a child out of wedlock, her entire family is thrown into turmoil. With their lush prose, vividly rendered settings, and complex characters, these and the other stories in this elegant collection bring readers into the experience of Indian women at home and abroad, where modernity offers them lives their grandmothers could never dream of, while at the same time taking away parts of their history. With a delicate touch, Indu Sundaresan weaves the pieces of the conflict together, presenting a nuanced and unforgettable tapestry.Binding Type: Paperback

Perfect for such a special occasion
Color: Brilliant Black, Size: Medium, Color: Brilliant Black, Size: Medium
I bought this suit for my son's graduation and was very satisfied. It looks elegant and modern, and the fit was excellent. The fabric is comfortable and of good quality—ideal for wearing for several hours. I received many compliments that day. Without a doubt, a very good choice for important and special events.

Feels Tailored, Perfect Fit, Fast Delivery, Zero Complaint
Color: Black, Size: Large
I honestly did not expect this level of quality ordering a suit online, especially on such short notice, but this completely exceeded my expectations.
First off, the fit is incredible. The jacket feels like it was tailored specifically for me, it wraps cleanly around the shoulders and arms without being tight, and tapers perfectly at the waist. I still have full range of motion, which is rare for a fitted jacket. The one-button design gives it a modern, sleek look that really stands out.
The pants are just as impressive. They fit perfectly, not too tight, not too loose, with a clean, straight fall that looks amazing with dress shoes. The length is spot on, and the overall structure makes it look very polished. I also appreciate the thoughtful details like secure closures, belt loops, and well-placed pockets.
The vest was the cherry on top. It fits clean and adds an extra level of sophistication to the whole outfit. Together, the full set gives a very sharp, put-together look without feeling overdone.
What really shocked me was the speed. I ordered this late at night and received it the next morning. That alone would have been impressive, but to combine that kind of delivery with this level of quality is next-level.
Overall, this suit looks, feels, and fits far better than I expected at this price point. If you're hesitant about buying a suit online, this is definitely one of those rare cases where it absolutely pays off.
Highly recommend.

One piece was true to size and the other wasn’t
Color: Brilliant Black, Size: XX-Large
Looked nice and perhaps decent quality for the price, but one piece fit while the other didn’t, like I forgot which, but either the jacket fit, but the pants were too big or small or vice versa . Had to return it.
