A debut novel of mothers, daughters, queerness, inheritance and the mess that comes with family.

Moving between Sri Lanka, Singapore, New Zealand, Australia and England, Amma traces three generations of women as they carry food, grief, silence, migration, desire and old family weather across borders. Warm without being soft, sharp without turning brittle — the sort of contemporary literary fiction that understands family as both refuge and trap, which is usually where the good damage lives.
