The Worlds Within Her by Neil Bissoondath A Governor General’s Literary Award Nominee Set in both the Caribbean and Canada, The Worlds Within Her joins politics and love as Yasmin recollects her life in the 40s and 50s. Alternating between Yasmin and her mother Shakti, their worlds and dreams collide to release deeply buried secrets. “Powerful and stylistically rich … His best book yet … Yasmin, in her attempts to blend the very different worlds within her into a satisfying sense of self, is as good a symbol of this country as we could ask for.” — The Gazette (Montreal) “A multilayered journey from darkness to light…rich in character as well as emotion.” —The Hamilton Spectator “Heart-wrenching … with a searing intensity and a powerful sensitivity that sweeps aside the politics of identity and lays bare the painful and beautiful human condition.” —The Vancouver Sun About Neil Bissoondath.
