Clean, unmarked pages. *Autographed by author.* "Brings us deep inside the private lives of a Brahmin family as the subcontinent moves through sixty years of intense social and political change." "Richard A. Macksey was a celebrated Johns Hopkins University professor whose affiliation with the university spanned six and a half decades. A legendary figure not only in his own fields of critical theory, comparative literature, and film studies but across all the humanities, Macksey possessed enormous intellectual capacity and a deeply insightful human nature. He was a man who read and wrote in six languages, was instrumental in launching a new era in structuralist thought in America, maintained a personal library containing a staggering collection of books and manuscripts, inspired generations of students to follow him to the thorniest heights of the human intellect, and penned or edited dozens of volumes of scholarly works, fiction, poetry, and translation." - Johns Hopkins University.

Menu for a breakfast promoting the book laid in. DJ in protective Mylar sleeve, unclipped. A bright, solid book.; 9.10 X 6.20 X 1.70 inches; 619 pages; In south India in 1896, ten-year old Sivakami is about to embark on a new life. Hanumarathnam, a village healer with some renown as an astrologer, has approached her parents with a marriage proposal. In keeping with custom, he provides his prospective in-laws with his horoscope. The problem is that his includes a prediction, albeit a weak one, that he will die in his tenth year of marriage.Despite the ominous horoscope, Sivakami's parents hesitate only briefly, won over by the young man and his family's reputation as good, upstanding Brahmins. Once married, Sivikami and Hanumarathnam grow to love one another and the bride, now in her teens, settles into a happy life. But the predictions of Hanumarathnam's horoscope are never far from her new husband's mind. When their first child is born, as a strategy for accurately determining his child's astrological charts, Hanumarathnam insists the midwife toss a lemon from the window of the birthing room the moment his child appears. All is well with their first child, a daughter, Thangam, whose birth has a positive influence on her father's astrological future. But this influence is fleeting: when a son, Vairum, is born, his horoscope confirms that his father will die within three years.Resigned to his fate, Hanumarathnam sets himself to the unpleasant task of readying his household for his imminent death. Knowing the hardships and social restrictions Sivakami will face as a Brahmin widow, he hires and trains a servant boy called Muchami to help Sivakami manage the household and properties until Vairum is of age.When Sivakami is eighteen, Hanumarathnam dies as predicted. Relentless in her adherence to the traditions that define her Brahmin caste, she shaves her head and dons the white sari of the widow. With some reluctance, she moves to her family home to raise her children under the protection of her brothers, but then realizes that they are not acting in the best interests of her children. With her daughter already married to an unreliable husband of her brothers' choosing, and Vairum's future also at risk, Sivakami leaves her brothers and returns to her marital home to raise her family.With the freedom to make decisions for her son's future, Sivakami defies tradition and chooses to give him a secular education. While her choice ensures that Vairum fulfills his promise, it also sets Sivakami on a collision course with him. Vairum, fatherless in childhood, childless as an adult, rejects the caste identity that is his mother's mainstay, twisting their fates in fascinating and unbearable ways.

Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fine. 1st Edition. 1st printing of the first Canadian hardcover edition of the Canadian author's first book SIGNED by her on the title page. Creme-coloured boards and binding with orange endpapers and gold titles. The textured surface of the jacket simulates silk. A first rate copy of a lovely production. The book is tight and sits squarely, and the corners of the boards are sharp. The heel of the spine has softened. The jacket is bright, crisp and price intact. We've examined many copies of this book, and the jacket is tough to find in collector's condition. This example is very pleasing. The author's fiction has been published in eight countries and shortlisted for the PEN USA Prize and the Scotiabank Giller Prize. "The Toss of a Lemon is a captivating novel that in relating the story of one Indian woman and her family tells the story of a changing society. Precisely and deftly written, constantly interesting, morally serious yet sympathetic--I challenge any reader to start reading this book and give up on it. The Toss of a Lemon joins the company of great novels on India." ?Yann Martel. Canadian buyer will be charged GST. Signed by Author(s).
