Produktbeschreibung

'A fierce and marvelous book with an utterly unique, brightly burning lifeforce' MAGGIE SHIPSTEAD, author of GREAT CIRCLE

'Tender, defiant, and formally daring . . . I fell in love with McConigley's fierce, wry narrator Georgie Ayyar from the first page and couldn't stop reading. A powerful, groundbreaking book' JESSAMINE CHAN, author of THE SCHOOL FOR GOOD MOTHERS

In the summer of 1986, the Creel sisters, Georgie Ayyars and Agatha Krishna, welcome their aunt, uncle and two young cousins - newly arrived from India - into their house in rural Wyoming where they will all live together. Because this is what families do. That is until the sisters decide that it's time for one of their newly arrived family members to die.

How to Commit a Post-colonial Murder is many things. It is a vivid portrait of an extended family; the moving story of the relationship between two sisters; a murder mystery (of sorts); a love letter to the 1980s; a formally-inventive amalgam of first-person narration, pen pal letters, and teen-magazine-style quizzes; and a powerful meditation on race, language, colonialism, trauma, and the meaning of independence.
