{"product_id":"9781465364302","title":"The House of Lakshmi Chatterjee","description":"The House of Lakshmi Chatterjee takes place on a single day in 1968.  Set in Calcutta, India, it explores the mind of a young woman–an American expatriate—as she tries to come to terms with who she is in the midst of a world she could scarcely have imagined. The narrative alternates between present and past – between her efforts to plan a party for the evening of September 29 and her memories of previous years. Despite herself, she becomes “house-mother” to a motley collection of people--including a ghost!--who are drawn, for a variety of reasons, to the House of Lakshmi Chatterjee in the heart of Calcutta. Together, they represent a broad cultural spectrum–Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Jewish, Tibetan Buddhist, and atheist. Even Mother Teresa gets into the act!","brand":"Xlibris Corporation","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47129736020208,"sku":"9781465364302","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781465364302_p0.jpg?v=1763683993","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781465364302","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
