En 'Clear Light of Day', Anita Desai nos transporta a una casa polvorienta en Delhi, donde la visita de Tara sirve como un crudo recordatorio de la vida fuera de las tradiciones familiares. Bim, quien se enfrenta constantemente a los problemas familiares, revive viejos rencores al ver que, a diferencia de su hermana, no ha logrado escapar de su destino. A través de una mirada a la crueldad y la belleza de la vida familiar, así como a la dureza de la historia moderna de la India, Desai evoca de manera brillante el doloroso proceso de confrontar y sanar viejas heridas. Una novela conmovedora que explora las complejidades de las relaciones familiares y el peso del pasado.
