It is this combination of personal revelation and empathetic observation that makes Umrigars memoir so appealing.- Washington Post Book WorldFrom the bestselling author of The Space Between Us and If Today Be Sweet comes a sensitive, beautifully written memoir of Thrity Umrigars youth in India, told with the honesty and guilelessness that only a childs point of view could provide.In a series of incredibly poignant stories, Thrity Umrigar traces the arc of her Bombay childhood and adolescence-from her earliest memories growing up in a middle-class Parsi household to her eventual departure for the U.S. at age 21. Her emotionally charged scenes take an unflinching look at family issues once considered unspeakable-including intimate secrets, controversial political beliefs, and the consequences of child abuse. Punishments and tempered hopes, struggles and small successes all weave together in this evocative, unforgettable coming-of-age tale.First Darling of the Morning also offers readers a fascinating glimpse at the 1960s and 70s Bombay of Umrigars memories. Two coming-of-age stories collide in this memoir-one of a small child, and one of a nation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n        ","brand":"Miakarts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49678239465712,"sku":"NEW0061451614","price":13.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/ethereallybeautiful.com\/products\/first-darling-of-the-morning-selected-memories-of-an-indian","provider":"Ethereally Beautiful","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
