Reviews
"As the novel moves between Los Angeles, London and India, Maisano shows how loss and longing can be converted into hope, meaningful work and love. His beautiful prose, his immensely sympathetic characters and the wonderfully dramatic story he tells, make BINDI a novel in which many readers will find a home." -- Margot Livesey, "Maisano has captured a complicated love story among strangers in strange lands. The reader at once cheers for every one of these characters, especially beloved eponymous Bindi, and their hearts' desires. A truly satisfying book." -- Antonya Nelson, author of Female Trouble, "Reading Paul Matthew Maisano's BINDI was a revelation. This is the prose I've been looking for--worldly and soulful, enduring, its surface beauty underwritten by adventure and excitement and a deep love of life."-- Rebecca Lee, "Paul Matthew Maisano is an extraordinary writer, and one we all should be hearing from right now, with his thoughtful and nuanced view of the global stage. His unique, compassionately drawn characters are ones you have not met before. He is a writer of the moment. BINDI is a book everyone should be reading." -- Karen Bender, "Poignant.... Maisano's novel effectively captures the settings across the globe and creates a realistic and imperfect family, movingly demonstrating how a combination of chance, persistence, and love creates lasting ties." -- Publishers Weekly, "Birendra's story shifts among three locales.... All are rendered by Maisano with convincing and informative cultural and descriptive touches.... Birendra's Aunt Nayana, the twin sister of his mother - is drawn with depth and complexity. An academic achiever in west London, she moves from an adulterous affair to the verge of an emotional breakdown. All of this helps give dramatic substance to the story of an orphaned boy on a journey around the globe."-- Associated Press, "Paul Matthew Maisano is an extraordinary writer, and one we all should be hearing from right now, with his thoughtful and nuanced view of the global stage.

Maisano's novel effectively captures the settings across the globe and creates a realistic and imperfect family, movingly demonstrating how a combination of chance, persistence, and love creates lasting ties."-- Publishers Weekly, "Maisano boldly crosses cultural boundaries with a sure touch and empathetic style. There is a stark authenticity here that delves deeply into all the vulnerabilities of a child seeking a home while capturing the dilemmas of adults facing choices that offer no clarity.... [ Bindi ] is essentially about good people coming to terms with the many dimensions of life and love, acceptance and peace." -- Booklist, "Reading Paul Matthew Maisano's BINDI was a revelation. This is the prose I've been looking for--worldly and soulful, enduring, its surface beauty underwritten by adventure and excitement and a deep love of life." -- Rebecca Lee, "Birendra's story shifts among three locales....

Synopsis
A richly imagined debut set against the backdrop of India, London, and Hollywood that tells the story of a young boy, suddenly orphaned, and the adults around him, each of whom is also looking for a home in the world. Kerala, 1993: Eight-year-old Birendra suddenly loses his mother, but he refuses to believe he's an orphan. He's certain that his mother's twin sister, the troubled but winning Nayana, will come for him all the way from West London. But when the letter informing Nayana of her sister's death goes missing, numerous lives are forever altered, and Birendra is set adrift. Madeline, a Los Angeles native and interior designer to the stars, is floundering in her personal life. In the aftermath of a failed attempt to get pregnant, she flies to India where she finds herself face-to-face with Birendra. In a moment of sudden certainty, she decides she must adopt the boy in order to save them both. As Nayana falls deeper into crisis at work and in her marriage in London, Birendra learns to make himself at home in Los Angeles, forging an especially close bond with Madeline's younger brother, Edward, who begins to worry that his sister may have met her match in motherhood. When he learns of his adopted nephew's family in London, Edward is faced with an impossible choice. If he can find Nayana and reunite her with her nephew, should he? Even if in doing so he would risk unwittingly setting the two women who love the boy most against each other? Written in stirring prose, and infused with keen emotional insight, Bindi is about our search for family and for home, and an exploration of the ways that loss and longing can be converted into hope, connection, and love., A richly imagined debut set against the backdrop of India, London, and Hollywood that tells the story of a young boy, suddenly orphaned, and the adults around him, each of whom is also looking for a home in the world Kerala, 1993: Eight-year-old Birendra suddenly loses his mother, but he refuses to believe he's an orphan.
