Valmiki's daughter / Shani Mootoo.

Mootoo, Shani. (Author).

Summary:

Giller Prize finalist and bestselling novelist Shani Mootoo returns to some of the themes she first explored in her breakout book, CEREUS BLOOMS AT NIGHT. The story circles around a well-to-do Trinidadian family, in particular, Valmiki, a renowned doctor and loving if confused father, and his youngest daughter, Viveka, lively, intelligent, and intent on escaping the gilded cage. This a hugely entertaining and hypnotically beautiful family saga about the competing pulls of race, class and sexuality.
