â?oA stunning chronicle of an Indian womanâ?Ts coming-of-age... This is electrifying.â??â?"Publishers Weekly, starred reviewâ?oIs this a ghost story?â?? Meena asked the barberâ?Ts wife who told the tale. â?oI donâ?Tt want to hear scary stories one night before I marry.â??A â?oNot all ghost stories are scary,â?? said the barberâ?Ts wife, laughing at Meena. â?oBesides, we have a long time before us, and stories are little baskets to carry time away in.â??Exquisitely written, a blend of ghost stories, myths, and song, The Woman Who Climbed Trees is a haunting, deeply felt multi-generational story that illuminates the transitional nature of womenâ?Ts lives and the feeling of loss they experience, as they give up one home and family to become part of another. When she marries a man from Nepal, Meena must leave behind her family and home in India and forge a new identity in a strange place. The Woman Who Climbed Trees follows her, the women who surround her, and the daughter she eventually raises, as they carefully navigate the uncertain tides of their diasporic lives.
