Pashmina

Indian-American girl's magical, generational self-discovery journey.

"Pashmina" is a gem for those who cherish graphic novels with a lush, vibrant illustration style, and it resonates particularly with anyone interested in the intricacies of personal identity and culture. The exploration of heritage and the mother-daughter dynamic wrapped in a tale of magical realism offers a narrative that's both heartwarming and insightful. It's a visual and emotional treat for those looking to be swept away into a story that bridges continents and generations.

Description

Priyanka Das has so many unanswered questions: Why did her mother abandon her home in India years ago? What was it like there? And most important, who is her father, and why did her mom leave him behind? But Pri's mom avoids these questions - the topic of India is permanently closed. For Pri, her mother's homeland can only exist in her imagination. That is, until she finds a mysterious pashmina tucked away in a forgotten suitcase. When she wraps herself in it, she is transported to a place more vivid and colourful than any guidebook or Bollywood film. But is this the real India? And what is that shadow lurking in the background? To learn the truth, Pri must travel farther than she's ever dared and find the family she never knew. In this heartwarming debut, Nidhi Chanani weaves a tale about the hardship and self-discovery that is born from juggling two cultures and two worlds.
