Rosarita by Anita Desai

Rosarita by Anita Desai

Bonita is studying Spanish in a Mexican park when a stranger approaches, insisting she recognises Bonita's late mother from paintings the woman once made in Mexico decades earlier — a mother Bonita believed she knew completely, and now is not sure she did at all.

Desai writes the novella in the unusual second person, keeping Bonita's uncertainty about the stranger's claims, and about her mother's hidden life, suspended for most of the book's brief length. It is a spare, elliptical meditation on how much of a parent's inner life ever really becomes known to a child.

A spare, elegant novella from the celebrated author of Clear Light of Day.
