Abstract

Translate

Leaving behind her beloved patti, appa, and dog Dhurrie, Geetha struggles with sadness and adjustment in her new environment, where she faces bullies and cultural challenges. The storyline addresses the effect her mental health and eating disorder have not only on Evie herself but also on her whole family. [...]Marcos befriends Camilo, an 18-year-old cab driver with a dark past, and the two bond over their love of Gabriel García Márquez while cruising the city in Camilo's dented taxi.
