Tell Me a Story
Rupa Bajwa
A moving tale of loss and hope
ŸThe author of the critically acclaimed The Sari Shop
returns with her second novel after an eight-year wait
ŸA touching novel about Rani, a young, lower middleclass girl who works in a beauty parlour and loves telling
stories
ŸPraise for The Sari Shop

required to write a highly readable novel.’–

‘Bajwa is excellent on ordinary people going about their
business … all praise to the author.’–Guardian
Set partly in the small, buzzing town of Amritsar and
partly in New Delhi, this is the story of Rani, a young
woman in contemporary India. She enjoys her work in a
local beauty parlour though her lower middle-class
family lives in a state of constant struggle–to make ends
meet, to hang on to their dreams, to keep their fragile
lives from collapsing.
As their financial troubles escalate, so do Rani’s sister-in-law’s taunts, brother’s
frustration and father’s resignation. Random events happen that affect each of them,
changing their lives forever.
Tell Me A Story displays remarkable clarity and depth in drawing up the real semiurban living in India. Fragile and touching, it reminds us of how thin, tenuous are
the connections which bind us to our illusory, sane-seeming lives.
Rupa Bajwa’s debut novel The Sari Shop was published in 2004 to critical
acclaim. The novel went on to win the Commonwealth Writer’s Prize for Best First
Book (Eurasia Region), Grinzane Cavour Award for Best Debut Fiction and Sahitya
Akademi Award for Best English Fiction (India), and was longlisted for the Orange
Prize.

This lyrical story relays the loving wisdom of
Barack Obama’s late mother to a young
granddaughter she never met.
Little Suhaila wishes she had known her grandma, who
(her mother tells her) would have wrapped her arms
round the whole world if she could. And one night
Suhaila gets her wish when a golden ladder appears at
her window and Grandma Annie, arms outstretched, invites the girl to come along
with her on a journey. In a rich and deeply personal narrative, Maya Soetoro-Ng
distils her mother’s love for family, her compassion and her ethic of service into the
story of a remarkable meeting between grandmother and grandchild. Yuyi Morales’s
vibrant, emotionally resonant artwork illuminates this dreamlike tale, reminding us
that loved ones lost are always with us–and that sometimes we need only to look at
the moon and remember.
Maya Soetoro-Ng, a former high-school history teacher and university instructor,
was born in Jakarta, Indonesia, and is the maternal half-sister of President Barack
Obama. She says Ladder to the Moon, her first picture book, was inspired by her
young daughter Suhaila’s questions about her grandmother. Maya Soetoro-Ng lives
in Hawaii with her husband and two daughters.
