Overview:
Beena and Sadhana are sisters who share a bond that could only have
been shaped by the most unusual of childhoods — and by shared tragedy.
Orphaned as teenagers, they have grown up under the exasperated watch of
their Sikh uncle, who runs a bagel shop in Montreal's Hasidic community
of Mile End. Together, they try to make sense of the rich, confusing
brew of values, rituals, and beliefs that form their inheritance. Yet as
they grow towards adulthood, their paths begin to diverge. Beena
catches the attention of one of the "bagel boys" and finds herself
pregnant at sixteen, while Sadhana drives herself to perfectionism and
anorexia.
When we first meet the adult Beena, she is grappling
with a fresh grief: Sadhana has died suddenly and strangely, her body
lying undiscovered for a week before anyone realizes what has happened.
Beena is left with a burden of guilt and an unsettled feeling about the
circumstances of her sister's death, which she sets about to uncover.
Her search stirs memories and opens wounds, threatening to undo the
safe, orderly existence she has painstakingly created for herself and
her son.
Saleema Nawaz's characters compel us, intrigue us, and
delight us with their raw, complicated humanity, and her sentences sing
in the gorgeous cadences of a writer who chooses every word with the
utmost care. Heralded across Canada for the power and promise of her
debut collection, Mother Superior, Nawaz proves with Bone and Bread that
she is one of our most talented and unique storytellers.
