A young student sits on a bench in a park in San Miguel, Mexico. Bonita is away from her home in India to learn Spanish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShe is alone, somewhere she has no connection to. It is bliss. And then a woman approaches her.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe woman claims to recognize Bonita because she is the spitting image of her mother, who made the same journey from India to Mexico as a young artist. No, says Bonita, my mother didn’t paint. She never travelled to Mexico.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut this strange woman insists, and so Bonita follows her. Into a story where Bonita and her mother will move apart and come together, and where the past threatens to flood the present, or re-write it. **Praise for Anita Desai**‘Hypnotically beautiful and subtle’ - Financial Times‘Bewitchingly beautiful’ - The Times‘Profoundly elegiac’ - New Statesman\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e'Anita Desai is a magnificent writer' - Salman Rushdie'Every new work from her is a gift' - Kamila Shamsie'Rosarita is transcendent . . .\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ea testament to Desai’s enduring genius as a writer' - The Guardian 'Tantalising' - Financial Times\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Picador","offers":[{"title":"Paperback Book","offer_id":50174977933590,"sku":"RMX-48996","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7750\/2998\/files\/d81fa9143a5f3664842316bff187c5bb.jpg?v=1750962085","url":"https:\/\/resident-music-uk.myshopify.com\/products\/desai-anita-rosarita","provider":"Resident Music UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
