Summary, etc.: | In India, Smita is an untouchable. Desperate to give her daughter an education, she and the child flee to a temple where she will experience a rebirth. In Sicily, Giulia works in her father's wig workshop, washing bleaching and dying the hair provided by the city's hairdressers. When her father is the victim of a serious accident, she must find a way to save her family's livelihood. In Canada, Sarah is a successful lawyer, a twice-divorced mother of three children; her identity is wrapped up in her work. Her life is shattered when she's diagnosed with cancer. These women find their lives intertwined by a single object and become connected across cultures, across backgrounds, and across borders. -- adapted from back cover |
