L'autrice ha scoperto il potere della descrizione chiara mentre lavorava come consulente, imparando a cogliere la realtà con precisione. Per lei scrivere non è solo un'attività, ma un modo per filtrare la sua percezione del mondo e rendere tangibili i suoi pensieri. Il suo processo creativo è continuamente plasmato dalle esperienze di vita, tra cui viaggi, insegnamento e maternità. Attraverso le parole, l'autrice esplora e articola le sue osservazioni e idee, dando vita a opere letterarie avvincenti.

"A richly endowed memory piece...Bacon is a seductive and gifted storyteller."—Maureen Howard, author of A Lover's Almanac Anna Singer, a charmingly independent young New Yorker, feels derailed after losing her father to a car accident and her husband to a younger woman. She books a trip to India, hoping that there she will be able to put her grief into perspective. Though this is her first visit, India has always tantalized her: her English mother, Rose, was raised in Calcutta during the twilight of the British Raj, but seldom spoke of her childhood. Then, as Anna departs, Rose gives her a manuscript in which she has recorded her Indian memories, torn between two cultures and belonging completely to neither.
