Description:
<p><strong>A sweeping family saga set against the backdrop of a Sikh wedding.</strong></p>
<p>On the morning of his nephew’s wedding, Devinder Gill is certain the delicate balance of his life will not be upset. Dev is married to Kuldip, and together they are raising two young children in Vancouver. But Dev also has a secret: an affair with his first love, an Irish Canadian woman named Emily Rice. Today, both women will attend the wedding.</p>
<p>As the day progresses through the traditional marriage rituals, the circumstances that led to this precarious situation are revealed through the alternating perspectives of Devinder, Emily, and Kuldip. Dev fails to recognize the building threats—an unwelcome guest, a wandering daughter, a repentant father—and by day’s end must accept that he does not have the control over his life that he imagined.</p>
<p>A stunning debut by a talented new voice, <em>However Far Away</em> is an unforgettable story about family secrets, painful compromises, and the promises we break to ourselves and others.</p>
