-------------------------------------------
I have enjoyed reading this book very much and it has
been on my shelf much too long. Therefore, I would
like to offer as a bookray. A wonderful novel, well
written throughout. A vanishing world where three
generations of women encounter love, war, duty and
hope. With springkling of black magic.
I would like to mail this book to a US address. If
someone willing to mail International, then, this ray
will be open for everyone. This is a paperback 580
pages. Interested PM with your mailing preference.
Thanks.

An Excerpt about the book
THE RICE MOTHER
FROM THE PUBLISHER;
At the age of fourteen, Lakshmi leaves behind her
childhood among the mango trees of Ceylon for married
life across the ocean in Malaysia, and soon finds
herself struggling to raise a family in a country that
is, by turns, unyielding and amazing, brutal and
beautiful.
Giving birth to a child every year until she is
nineteen, Lakshmi becomes a formidable matriarch,
determined to secure a better life for her daughters
and sons. From the Japanese occupation during World
War II to the torture of watching some of her children
succumb to life's most terrible temptations, she rises
to face every new challenge with almost mythic
strength.
Dreamy and lyrical, told in the alternating voices of
the men and women of this amazing family, The Rice
Mother gorgeously evokes a world where small pleasures
offset unimaginable horrors, where ghosts and gods
walk hand in hand. It marks the triumphant debut of a
writer whose wisdom and soaring prose will touch
readers, especially women, the world over.
Author Biography: Rani Manicka was born and educated
in Malaysia. The Rice Mother is her first novel.
Edited: July 13 I am reviving this bookray as there
are participants that are interested.
