Bath Public Library Book Club to Discuss Sister of My Heart by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni

Bath, NH – The Bath Public Library Book Club will meet on Monday, October 19, at 5:00 PM at the Bath Public Library to discuss Sister of My Heart by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni.

Sister of My Heart, set in the two worlds of India and America, is a moving novel of love, friendship and compelling courage.

Anju and Sudha are cousins, born in Calcutta on the exact same day that their fathers die in a violent and mysterious accident. Anju is the daughter of an upper-caste family; her cousin Sudha is the daughter of the black sheep of the family. Sudha is beautiful and tenderhearted while Anju is plain, whip-smart and defiant. Although their circumstances are vastly different, the two girls form a deep bond.

Their bond is shattered by a dark family secret, and they are further separated by arranged marriages that take one to a small village and the other to America. When tragedy strikes them both, they discover that despite circumstances and distance they must turn to each other.

Copies of the book are available to borrow at the Bath Public Library. Patrons are encouraged to pick up a copy and participate in what promises to be a thoughtful and engaging discussion. New members are always welcome.

Library hours are Monday and Wednesday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM and Thursday and Saturday from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM.
