Naming Maya by Uma Krishnaswami [in AsianWeek]
A touching, slim coming-of-age novel about young Maya who travels one summer to Chennai, India, with her mother. Both mother and daughter are still stinging from a year-old divorce. There in the folds of her mother’s extended family, Maya is able to come to terms with her life without her distant father.
