Desirable Daughters is set in America and India equally. It is both the portrait of a traditional Brahmin Indian family and a contemporary story of an American woman who has in many ways broken with the tradition but still remains tied to her native country. An intricate mystery that unfolds throughout this compelling novel, it creates both intrigue and suspense but also initiates a quest for identity.

Dalam novel ini, Mukherjee mengisahkan potret situasi yang dihadapi oleh keluarga Brahmin tradisional yang berada di ambang kehancuran, sekaligus menjalinnya dengan seorang tokoh wanita India modern. Tara, narator kisah ini, menikah dengan pria India yang sempurna atas pilihan orangtuanya. Dia kemudian bercerai dengan suami idaman ini dan tinggal di San Fransisco dengan gaya hidup yang sangat California. Dari luar, tampaknya dia telah terbebas dari tradisi, tetapi sebenarnya tak mampu melepaskan simpul perasaannya dengan tanah asalnya. Ketika seorang pemuda mendatangi rumahnya dan mengaku sebagai keponakannya, kehidupan Tara mulai terusik. Kemunculannya yang tiba-tiba dan sikapnya yang misterius membuat Tara dibayang-bayangi ketakutan. Siapa yang tahu pemuda itu bukan seorang penjahat? Terpaksa dia berpaling kepada kakak-kakaknya untuk menguatkan dan memulihkan hidupnya, sekaligus untuk memecahkan sebuah misteri yang akan menghancurkan kehidupan dan seluruh keluarganya. Terlebih lagi, ternyata anaknya memiliki rahasia yang membuat Tara tak bisa berkutik. Menolak kondisi anaknya sama saja artinya dengan Tara akan kehilangan putra satu-satunya itu. “Mengombinasikan ketegangan kisah misteri dengan atmosfer dan tekstur epos keluarga.”—Kirkus “Karya Bharati Mukherjee yang paling mengesankan.”—New York Times Book Review “Bharati Mukherjee memiliki semacam bakat untuk mencipta efek yang memesona.”—San Francisco Chronicle [Mizan, Bentang, Novel, Dewasa, Indonesia]

"A very fine writer, funny, intelligent, versatile and, on occasion, unexpectedly profound." --The Washington Post Book World "MUKHERJEE IS FEARLESS . . . DARING AND WITTY . . . Take the wild ride with Debby DiMartino from Albany to San Francisco, from lost child to masked avenger." --The Boston Globe "POWERFULLY WRITTEN . . . Debby has no memory of her birth parents. All she knows is that she was born in a remote Indian village, the daughter of a hippie back-packing mother and a mysterious Eurasian father, both of whom have disappeared almost without a trace. . . . Her quest for her biological parents turns into an obsession. . . . Leave It to Me . . . shows Mukherjee at the peak of her craft. . . . Mixing the Greek myth of Electra with the Indian myth of Devi, she sends Devi/Debby careening down on the Bay Area like an elemental force of vengeance." --San Francisco Chronicle "DEVI IS A BRILLIANT CREATION--hilarious, horribly knowing and even more horribly oblivious--through whom Bharati Mukherjee, with characteristic and shameless ingenuity, is laying claim to speak for an America that isn't 'other' at all." --The New York Times Book Review "STUNNING . . . An astute, ironic, and merciless insight into an aberrant version of the American dream." --Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Born in Calcutta and schooled in Poughkeepsie, Madison, Manhattan, beautiful, luminous Tara leaves her American husband behind as she journeys back to India. But the Calcutta she finds on her return -- seething with strikes, riots, and unrest -- is vastly different from the place she remembers. In this taut, ironic tale of colliding cultures, Tara seeks to reconcile the old world -- that of her father, the redoubtable Bengal Tiger -- and the brash new one that is being so violently ushered in. In this, her first novel, Mukherjee claimed as her subject the shock, uneasiness, and haphazard transformation that are part of the immigrant experience -- a theme she has masterfully woven into her subsequent novels, Wife and Jasmine, and into The Middleman and Other Stories, for which she won the National Book Critics Circle Award.

With Salman Rushdie, Arundhati Roy, Jhumpa Lahiri, V.S. Naipaul and Kiran Desai winning prestigious awards for their literary output, Indian English literature has gained a voice of its own. Yet, as most readers of criticism of it agree, there is a dearth of serious examination of its authors and their work. This collection of essays attempts a contrapuntal reading of Indian English literature with what Ranjan Ghosh calls the "infusionist" approach. Since a majority of readers are made to stay away from a branded author or work, this book rejects any categorization such as "postcolonial" or "Commonwealth." It deals with a wide range of issues--which human beings suffer from all over the world--including those that may not have anything to do with the politicized side of "the postcolonial" or "the Commonwealth."
