Omtale fra Den Norske Bokdatabasen
At the age of fourteen, Lakshimi leaves her native Ceylon and travels to far off Malaya to marry a man many years her senior. Giving birth to a child every year until she is nineteen, Lakshimi becomes a formidable matriarch despite her tender years. By sheer willpower she survives the oriental nightmare of the Japanese invasion, but her family bears deep scars on its back and in turn inflicts those wounds on the next generation. Not until Lakshmi's granddaughter, Nisha, pieces together the mosaic that is her family history, does the legacy of the Rice Mother bear fruit.
