Gowda, Shilpi Somaya,

The shape of family : a novel / Shilpi Somaya Gowda. - First edition. - xii, 327 pages ; 24 cm

The Olanders embody a modern family in a globalized world. Jaya and Keith's strong marriage is built on shared beliefs and love for their two children: headstrong teenager Karina and young son Prem. But love and prosperity cannot protect them from sudden, unspeakable tragedy, and the family's foundation cracks as each member struggles to seek a way forward. This is an intimate portrayal of four individuals as they grapple with what it means to be a family and how to move from a painful past into a hopeful future.
