This is a story about love, misunderstanding, and betrayal between a mother and daughter. Avni Doshi raises a sharp and painful topic that is still partly taboo in society. The main characters are separated by years and have completely different life experiences, but they are united by a natural connection that ultimately becomes destructive for them. Avni Doshi is a true cosmopolitan. An ethnic Indian, she was born in the American state of New Jersey and now lives in Dubai. "Burnt Sugar" is her debut novel, which has been published in more than 20 countries and was shortlisted for the Booker Prize. A film adaptation of the book is planned. "Avni Doshi spent seven years writing her first novel, which was nominated for the Booker Prize. Congratulations. A good start." - Euronews. "Avni Doshi is not just a talented writer, she is a creator. Her phrases are sharp, incredibly precise. This is a story without embellishments." - New York Times Review. "Exquisite and sophisticated, impossible to put down." - Observer. "A troubling debut, striking in its venom and disarming in its humor." - Guardian. "Sometimes I talk about my mother in the past tense, even though she is still alive. It's a pity that there is no euthanasia in India, like in the Netherlands. Not only for the dignity of the patient, but also for the dignity of all involved. I should grieve, not be angry. Sometimes I still cry when no one sees me. Yes, I grieve, but it's too early to cremate the body."
