āMoving and thought-provoking and informative and imaginative and beautifully executed. What a wonderful story!ā
āMary Jane Clark
āThis book is a must for anyone touched by adoption, or India, or the delicate dynamic between adolescent girls and their mothers.ā
āSujata Massey, author of Shimura Trouble
Secret Daughter, a first novel by Shilpi Somaya Gowda, explores powerfully and poignantly the emotional terrain of motherhood, loss, identity, and love through the experiences of two familiesāone Indian, one Americanāand the child that binds them together. A masterful work set partially in the Mumbai slums so vividly portrayed in the hit film Slumdog Millionaire, Secret Daughter recalls the acclaimed novels of Kim Edwards and Thrity Umrigar, yet sparkles with the freshness of a truly exciting new literary voice.
