A proposito di questo titolo
Bestselling, award-winning, Canada-Reads finalist (for The Hero's Walk) Anita Rau Badami showcases her extraordinary storytelling gifts in this entertaining tale set in India and Montreal.
Asha Mohan's backyard garden in Montréal, shaded by a cherished maple tree, has been her sanctuary since she and her husband moved to Canada from India decades ago. It is here that Asha finds refuge from the trials of her now-grown children, and exchanges gossip and advice over a shared hedge with Madame Brard, her formidable neighbour who took Asha under her wing long ago. The magnificent tree also marks the spot where—twenty years ago, on the evening of her 50th birthday—Asha was knocked unconscious by an unsavoury drug-dealing acquaintance of her wayward son.
Now, as Asha turns 70, the maple tree has reached its end and must be cut down. In its shadow, Asha finds herself remembering the attack of twenty years back and haunted by an earlier, shocking tragedy in India, one that caused her to flee the country of her birth. As Asha re-examines herself, her reconfigured garden, and her relations with friends, enemies, and loved ones (“two children from the same body – mine – and each a complete stranger”), she unearths new clarity about who she is and what might be required of her now—a vision with the power to transform her life.
Anita Rau Badami delights us in this big-hearted, compulsively readable and relatable novel about mysteries, ambitions, misunderstandings and miracles that ricochet and echo through a close-knit family and the woman at its centre.

Recensioni della critica
A NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A Globe and Mail Best Book of Summer 2026 • One of CIBA's Essential Summer Reads • One of CBC's 'Canadian Fiction Books We're Excited About This Fall' • Included in The Quill & Quire's 2026 Fall Fiction Preview
“Badami deftly illustrates how family members can become one-dimensional to one another, seemingly always in opposition. . . . [Badami creates] singular characters that carry pain that is palpable.” ―The Globe and Mail
“Anita Rau Badami’s fifth novel, Asha in Her Garden, understands the significance of trees—as companions, witnesses, and metaphors for stability and change. . . . A consummate storyteller, Badami is particularly skilled at depicting ambivalence. Her fiction brims with characters yearning for connection yet constrained by pride, fear of vulnerability, and the force of habit. . . . A welcome addition to Badami’s oeuvre.” —The Literary Review of Canada
“A novel of considerable intelligence and emotional depth. Asha in Her Garden tells an immigrant story, but more than that, it explores what it means to build a life in a country whose own identity remains unsettled.” —British Columbia Review
“Badami’s writing shines. . . . Vivid and evocative.” —Montreal Review of Books
