O knihe

Burma is being bombed, and Ramesh's life is in
disarray. Things become even more tumultuous when
he beats up a British soldier who insults his sister.
Ramesh is forced to flee his home in Haldipur, and he
arrives in Calcutta, India. But when Hindus and
Muslims start to riot in 1946, he is forced to move
again, and he unwittingly leaves behind a young
woman pregnant with his child. The child is born
without his father's knowledge.
Ramesh journeys to New York City to be with his
uncle. He is drafted and sent to Korea, returns to the
States, and falls in love with a woman with roots in
Jamaica. But his life with his wife brings with it great
family intrigue.
In the meantime, Suresh, the son, has grown up
and faces problems of his own. Now living in America,
he's drafted and sent to Vietnam, where he vows not to
kill. But it may not be a vow he can keep, especially
when his very survival is at stake.
Carma is a powerful story about a father and son,
lost loves, war, and what it takes to transcend
interracial barriers.
