Summary:

Eleven year-old Gopi has been playing squash since she was old enough to hold a racket. When her mother dies, her father enlists her in a quietly brutal training regimen, and the game becomes her world. Slowly, she grows apart from her sisters. Her life is reduced to the sport, guided by its rhythms: the serve, the volley, the drive, the shot and its echo. But on the court, she is not alone. She is with her pa. She is with Ged, a thirteen year-old boy with his own formidable talent. She is with the players who have come before her. She is in awe. An indelible coming-of-age story, Chetna Maroos first novel captures the ordinary and annihilates it with beauty. Western Lane is both a valentine and an elegy for innocence?for the closeness of sisterhood, for the strange ways we come to know ourselves and each other, for the force of obsession and its consequences.
