Book SynopsisTrade Review"Franqui has written a beautiful novel featuring nuanced characters struggling to find their way through the landmines of the inevitable culture clashes with surprising, didn’t-see-that-coming moments that carry through to the last page." — Library Journal “Engaging... [Rachel and Swati’s] credible learning from each other make this a worthy tale of bridging a cultural divide.” — Publishers Weekly “Unexpected...funny and relatable...[A] tender tale of two women who are lost and alone, but who eventually become allies and each other’s biggest champions.” — BookPage (starred review) “Mother Land is as much a treatise on what it means to belong to oneself as it is a story of two women from opposing cultures.... [The] women discover they are not so different and learn from one another a secret to happiness that surprises them both.” — San Francisco Book Review “Mother Land is a pleasant story of self-discovery and friendship with plenty of twists and intrigue to keep the reader engaged.” — Washington Independent Review of Books
