Though this book is a work of fiction, it's written out of personal understanding of what it means, as a woman, to be an immigrant. In Islands Unto Ourselves Gomathy Puri opens a private window into the lives of two courageous women of very different backgrounds and aspirations. Here is an intimate glimpse into the immigrant experience: the loneliness and sense of dislocation, the shift in values and family relationships and the ensuing conflicts, the struggle to establish a new identity in an unfamiliar world. The intertwined lives of Kamala and Rekha, as they face the challenges of beginning over, make a compelling read. These are stories that we want to end well.
