A yearning
de Ruth Carter
"Amar, a bride from India, marries Jaz, a Glaswegian Punjabi, and comes to live in Birmingham. She yearns for a child to fill her empty lap, but Jaz, owner of a mini-cab firm, is too preoccupied with his business to conern himself with her loneliness and longing. [book title] focuses on the plight of a woman married into a society where her real worth is measured by her ability to have children. Faced with her failure to conceive, the community, at first nurturing, becomes increasingly stifling."--Back cover.
