Western Lane, by Chetna Maroo, a short quick read. A coming of age novel about a young girl who losses her mother at a young age. Her mother's dath leaves behind a father who cannot get over his grief and three young daughters.
The father at a loss takes his daughters to the squash court and teaches them to play. Gopi shows the most promise on the court. She starts to train for a competition going to practice everyday after school. She starts to practice with a young man at the club, Ged. They are both training for the tournament.
This is a story of family relationships, love, innocence and the closeness of sisters. Beautifully told in a slim novel that covers so much in a few words.
