'Anita Desai is a magnificent writer' - Salman Rushdie 'Every new work from her is a gift' - Kamila Shamsie ' Rosarita is transcendent . . . a testament to Desai's enduring genius as a writer' - The Guardian 'Tantalising' - Financial Times From three times Booker-shortlisted author Anita Desai Rosarita is a beautiful haunting novel that explores memory grief and a young woman's determination to forge her own path. 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. She is alone somewhere she has no connection to. It is bliss. And then a woman approaches her. The 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. But 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 'Bewitchingly beautiful' - The Times 'Profoundly elegiac' - New Statesman
