Sinopsis

In this house filled with voices and footsteps, a time allowed and a time needed to bridge the discrepancy between who you were and who you wanted to become. Under the canopy of the day, you could see, from this distance, how shattered the world was that we lived in and how beautiful its dust.

In six haunting stories that span two continents and two decades, we follow Anjali, misfit, the expensively educated daughter of a wealthy family, from her childhood in Calcutta to her coming of age in New York City, claiming the grimy dive bars of the East Village as her own.

We also see her childhood friend Anita, who struggles with the quieter life, marriage, and motherhood she has chosen, in a suburb of Ohio.

These are women who muster all their grit and resolve in order to make their way.

Not Quite a Disaster after All is about how our expectations of life shift and change, how they can be pushed in the most unpredictable ways. It is about the thin line between self-destruction and survival. It is also a novel about falling in love-with a person, a city, or simply with the alluring, exciting promise of the new.

Deceptively simple and gently ironic, these nuanced stories of great depth and power mark the arrival of an outstanding voice.
