Kamala Nair Debut author of The Girl in the Garden (Grand Central Publishing, June 2011) Lush and sensual, THE GIRL IN THE GARDEN will enchant readers.

The Namesake meets The Secret Garden in this spellbinding debut novel that evokes a dark, grown-up fairytale. At once a powerful family saga and compelling personal odyssey, Kamala Nair's debut novel tells the story of a conflicted young woman who, in an effort to seek clarity about her impending marriage, revisits in memory one fateful summer from her childhood. When Rakhee Singh was just 10-year

s-old, her world was shaken irrevocably when her beautiful yet troubled mother spirited her away to visit their ancestral home in an Indian village untouched by time. It is there, in the mysterious jungle behind the house, that Rakhee discovers a walled-up garden holding a long-hidden secret, one that will expose family skeletons and form her youthful impressions about love and fidelity going forward. Nair brings her enormous powers of description to her first novel, infusing scenes with emotional depth.
