L'acomiadament sense cap mena de mirament de la jove criada Chellam suposa per a l'Assha, que tan sols té sis anys, una dolorosa pèrdua; la darrera de les moltes que ha patit en la seva curta vida. En poques setmanes la seva àvia ha mort en circumstàncies estranyes i la seva germana gran els abandona per sempre per anar a estudiar a la Columbia University.Aquest és l'inici d'El vespre és tot el dia, una novel·la captivadora que ens endinsa en la història d'una pròspera família malàisia, els Rajasekharan, i en com a poc a poc van desvelant els seus secrets llargament silenciats.En el seu aclamat debut, que ha estat traduït a una quinzena de llengües, Preeta Samarasan estén la seva mirada penetrant des dels conflictes íntims familiars fins als del conjunt de la societat. Una jove autora que s'ha convertit en el millor exemple de la literatura angloasiàtica actual i que ha estat comparada amb la cèlebre novel·lista Arundhati Roy.

In The Detachment, Private Palmer flies to Vietnam where is assigned to Qui Nhon. The scenery changes from his time at The Presidio (where The Enlisted Men’s Club took place), but not Private Palmer’s efforts to mark time, avoid the spotlight, keep his head down and try to survive.

Private Palmer tests new limits of his capacity to numb the experience, never knowing what the war will deliver next or how he’ll react to the turmoil all around.
