Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Based on the culture and heritage of Asian-Indian women, Waiting for the Perfect Dawn analyzes the journeys made by five generations of women who struggle against subordination, an oppressive caste system, religious upheaval, and domestic violence as they fight for equal rights in India.These five ladies, who all experience both the beauty and burdens of being a woman in a traditional Indian society, struggle to live the life they yearn for. They demonstrate the growing pains of women caught in a bicultural world-a struggle between Eastern traditions and Western influence. But can they triumph over the confines of a narrow-minded society and its traditions?Author Annu Subramanian exposes domestic violence and class/caste integration and also explores a global approach to Asian-Indian social issues while seamlessly incorporating elements of suspense, mystery, and romance.
