Produktinformationen zu „An Untimely Frost (ePub)“
Namita who came to Britain from Bengal 40 years ago is horrified when her elder son chooses to marry Ann, an outspoken and contrary college tutor, but happy with her younger sons choice of Jenny, a sweet-natured girl who left school with no qualifications. When they hear the devastating news that their husbands have been killed in a road accident, Namita, Ann and Jenny react in unexpected ways. Ann, the feisty narrator of the tale, faces up to some uncomfortable truths with help from her brothers friend, Colin, who hopes their relationship will develop into something more. Set mainly in a West Midlands city, the novel takes us via a village in the north of England, to a suburb of Kolkata.
An Untimely Frost is an engrossing, richly satisfying novel, encompassing love and loss. Whether evoking the inner city or the countryside, Bengal or the UK, romance or bereavement, Alison Mukherjee deftly transports her readers, challenges stereotypes and deepens understanding, as her characters evolve - just as we would expect from the writer of Nirmal Babu's Bride.

Autoren-Porträt von Alison Mukherjee
The author, one of seven siblings, grew up in small towns and villages across Britain. After graduating, she went to India as a volunteer intending to return and work in the field of Community Relations. This plan was thwarted when a Bengali colleague introduced her older brother to the author - within a few months the couple were married and setting up home in Kolkata! They eventually settled in Britain for the sake of their disabled daughter, initially in rural areas of the north and later in the multi-cultural environment of a Midlands city. Alison Mukherjee's working life has been divided between social work and teaching in schools and college. In 2001 she gained a PhD for her work on the Bengali translations of the Hebrew psalms and the following year her first novel, Nirmal Babu’s Bride, was published by Indialog Publications.
The author has two daughters and a son and lives with her husband in the Midlands.
