"You were adopted." These three simple words, in a letter accompanying her parents' will, tear Nisha's carefully ordered world apart. Raised in England by her caring but emotionally reserved parents, Nisha has never been one to take risks. Now, with the scrawled address of an Indian convent, she begins a search for the mother and family she never knew and the awakening of long forgotten childhood memories. The secrets, culture, and people that Nisha discover will change her life forever. And, as her eyes are opened to a side of herself she didn't know existed, Nisha realizes that she must also seek answers to the hardest question of all-why? Weaving together the stories of Nisha, Shilpa, and Devi, The Forgotten Daughter explores powerfully and poignantly the emotional themes of motherhood, loss, and identity-ultimately asking the question, what would you do out of love for your children?

Her chapters shimmer with the colors and scents of the Indian neighborhoods where her characters live, replete with the spices of foods (recipes included) and the fabrics of saris the women wear.THE FORGOTTEN DAUGHTER is an insider's look at Indian customs, yet it still carries a heartfelt story. The lives of three women--Nisha, Shilpa, and Devi--are untangled as Nisha seeks to know more about her parents and herself. Told in alternating chapters, we encounter Nisha's shield against the world: numbers; Devi's traditional Indian upbringing, and Shilpa's desperate plight as a mother.So the story is common enough, the sense of past secrets and family ties. What separates THE FORGOTTEN DAUGHTER from other such books is D'Silva's faith in the power of words. As an author, she does not let a word-count back her away from attempting an exact description. The words flow on and on, a river of words, a moment in time.Some readers may grow impatient with the word flood. I encourage them to take the book chapter by chapter, page by page, not biting off huge hunks and choking on the overload, but delighting in each scent, texture, color, and taste.

Remarkable tale By Kelly After starting the first chapter late last night I decided I'd take my time and enjoy the language over a few days, but then the characters sucked me in and I binged on the rest today. The sensory imagery was so vivid I actually feel like I've made 3 new best friends and returned from a daytrip to India. A wonderful story and beautifully written.
16 of 17 people found the following review helpful. Love and the Search for Identity! By Viviane Crystal Nisha’s parents are scientists who have never shown much love to their daughter but instead taught her to find solace in numbers. She is a successful statistician in a Canadian university, but her world is about to fall apart. After her parents’ death in a tragic car accident, Nisha receives a letter from them that was left with the family lawyer. “You are adopted!” Words that are like a tsunami breaking down her secure world and awakening her emotional side that she never knew existed, since that part of her being was repressed for years. Now, the pivotal question in her life is “Why?” She’s even reticent about her lover, Matt, who could not be more perfect if he tried. Yes, she’s in love with him but can’t get the words, “I love you” out without feeling like she is choking. So she says nothing and instead enters this new world of turmoil and gnawing ache as she wonders if she’s ever been loved!Shilpa and Devi are in another part of the world, India, where they are preparing for Shilpa’s death. Devi finds her mother’s journal full of delicious recipes and the diary-style journal of her mother, Shilpa. Devi reads to her mother as she is lying in a hospital bed, slipping in and out of consciousness, the chances of her slipping into a coma and dying very, very real! No more spoilers – suffice to say this is a story that is both tough as nails and soft as feather down. The essence of it is yearning to be a woman, a wife, a mother, a connector of generations, with all the mental, physical and spiritual anguish that entails, especially as mother and daughter age and experience transitions in their relationship. They understand each other so well and yet in many ways don’t have a clue about each other’s hopes and dreams, their respect for the aspects of Indian culture that is shared in this journal in the form of luscious recipes the reader will want to try for sure.Nisha decides to travel to India to find her “roots” and hope it will give her some grounding to fill her life that feels so barren and empty, that yearns for love that only real family can provide. Readers will not be disappointed at all and will be shell-shocked with surprise as the story progresses to a gracious, beautiful end!The Forgotten Daughter is SUPERB contemporary fiction. The descriptions of the food, drink, and fruit are presented with the art of one who truly loves food and knows how to sensually present it it to enliven the guest’s hunger, thirst, and more. Adopted children often feel abandoned and forgotten by their real parents, but what a very different discovery lies ahead for each of these fascinating characters.
