Hamish Hamilton
Longlisted for Women’s Prize for Fiction 2021
In her youth, Tara was wild. She abandoned her arranged marriage to join an ashram, took a hapless artist for a lover, rebelled against every social expectation of a good Indian woman – all with her young child in tow. Years on, she is an old woman with a fading memory, mixing up her maid’s wages and leaving the gas on all night, and her grown-up daughter is faced with the task of caring for a mother who never seemed to care for her. This is a poisoned love story. But not between lovers – between mother and daughter.
Burnt Sugar gradually untangles the knot of memory and myth that bind two women together, revealing the truth that lies beneath.
