Advance Praise for A Matter of Geography
“They were neighbours - Christians, Jews, Muslims, Hindus - till Bombay’s religious violence tore their community apart. What is the meaning of ‘home’ to someone who has emigrated? Can love conquer geography? A Matter of Geography elegantly explores the ever-changing human relationships within the cosmic framework.”
-- Sylvia Fraser, author of Pandora and The Rope in Water
“With a richness of details, Jasmine D’Costa, gently and insightfully, through the eyes of childhood innocence, lifts the veil on a tumultuous time period in India where violence and religious hatred swept through a peaceful, diverse and tight knit community, forever altering the lives of its inhabitants. More than ever and in difficult times, A Matter for Geography is a much-needed glimmer of hope.”
-- John Calabro, author of An Imperfect Man and The Cousin
“Jasmine D’Costa’s A Matter of Geography is a brave commentary on the place many of us carry in our hearts as home. It leaves us with the question, is there a true sense of shared belonging or are some Indians more equal than others?
