Though this is an older book, we have plenty of early literature to add to dragonfly.eco, and I was reminded of this novel when reading an article in the India Tribune.
Surfacing is a work permeated with an aura of suspense, complex with layered meanings, and written in brilliant, diamond-sharp prose. Here is a rich mine of ideas from an extraordinary writer about contemporary life and nature, families and marriage, and about women fragmented…and becoming whole.
