About This Book

A young girl raised in a confined, elegant household learns about life and death through the narrow rituals and secreted objects of her grandmother's world. She becomes fascinated by books, portrait albums and the furtive behaviors of visitors, which stir questions about love, desire and social appearance. Later movement into the city exposes her to dazzling streets and performative public life that contrast with intimate domestic memory. The narrative quietly traces youthful awakening, the awkwardness of growing up, and the friction between natural impulses and the strictures of society.
