Summary

Lina never wanted children, but now there are two lines on the test. Where does she go from here? Lina Solanki is pregnant and newly orphaned, living with her in-laws in their grand Dubai villa. While her husband fails to make concrete plans to find their own place, her delighted mother-in-law is free to interfere with every aspect of Lina's pregnancy. Then, Lina receives proof of a horrifying family secret from Mumbai, and realises that she has a choice when it comes to her baby, her marriage and her place in the world - but is it a choice she wants to make? A bittersweet yet life-affirming debut that dares to ask difficult questions about motherhood and family, 'Shape of an Apostrophe' is an astute exploration of obedience, rebellion and the surprising persistence of love. A fresh and taboo-breaking depiction of the Indian diaspora.
