## Description

While their parents went to parties at Delhi's Roshanara Club, the children of the Das family brought themselves up, reading Byron, listening to the gramophone and watching over sad, alcoholic Mira masi. Many years later, the youngest, Tara now a mother of two has returned from America to the scene of her unusual, lonesome childhood. Here, as always, is her sister Bim, doggedly single college-lecturer and caretaker of all. In her presence, Tara sinks into the blissful torpor of home, at once her dreamy old self but careful as ever around her older sister. For at the heart of this reunion are numerous tensions: Tara feels the persistent guilt of having, like the others, abandoned Bim, their autistic brother Baba is increasingly unquiet and Bim has not spoken to their other brother, Raja, for years and refuses to go to his daughter's wedding. Clear Light of Day is vintage Anita Desai, a novel as wonderfully contemplative as a cup of afternoon tea.

Review: Received in great quality! - The book is wonderful and desertcart has delivered it in excellent condition. The price is reasonable too, so u can go for it!
Review: Nostalgia reflected through words - Clear Light of Day delves deep into nostalgia and the long-lost value of human relationships within a family, relationships that mattered the most when time and people were young. Anita Desai’s portrayal of impactful childhood memories, which may have seemed trivial at the time, leaves a lasting impression on the reader. The novel beautifully captures how ordinary moments gain emotional depth with time and reflection.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fabulous
*by K***1 on 12 May 2019*

One of the best books written by Anita Desai....it is full of imagery.... usually deals with partition but on a smaller scale..finally the protagonist Bim redeems herself and comes out of the closet.
