Description
Fiction. Asian American Studies. Born in Rajasthan, India, Rita leaves her native country to live with her diplomat father in exotic places abroad. Her innocent, happy, and sheltered childhood is characterized by a deeply reflective nature. That childhood comes to an end with her marriage in Ghana to a fellow Indian she meets in the diplomatic circles of Accra. Shock and horror follow, for the union is violently abusive. The couple move to England, then to Canada, where the outcome is breakup, then the tragedy of a murder-suicide. Rita Nayar has a university degree in psychology and a teaching certificate from the University of Sheffield, England. A senior corporate professional in Toronto, she is also an artist and a poet.
