Reviews
" Inside the Mirror is a complex and compelling story of a displaced family living in the shadow of post-Partition India. Parul Kapur has written a gorgeous novel about art, independence, and the roots that bind a family together."--Devi S. Laskar, author of Circa and The Atlas of Reds and Blues, "Kapur's vivid descriptions of Jaya's paintings and Kamlesh's dancing bring them to life on the page."-- Booklist , starred review, "This is a beautiful exploration of the hardships endured by women artists."-- Publishers Weekly , starred review, "Parul Kapur's compelling debut novel, Inside the Mirror , explores the tension between family bonds and the pursuit of artistic passion. Set against the backdrop of post-Partition Bombay, this meticulously researched story follows twins Jaya and Kamlesh as they grapple with the quest for self-expression within a tightly-knit community that has predetermined their life paths. Kapur expertly recreates the social complexities of 1950s Bombay, illustrating the profound impact each twin has on their family and community as they pursue their chosen vocations--painting for Jaya and dance for Kamlesh. Every decision they make comes with a sense of guilt and shame. In eloquent prose Kapur explores themes of women's roles, the power of art, familial obligations, and the sacrifices entailed in seeking self-determination."--Geeta Kothari, author of I Brake for Moose and Other Stories, "A sparkling jewel of a novel, Inside the Mirror follows twins Jaya and Kamlesh as they pursue artistic ambitions. Battling their own fears, the young women wrestle with the familial and cultural expectations holding them back. Even as relationships splinter and trust is broken, Jaya and Kamlesh bravely seek lives without limits, lives in which they attain the grace they have long deserved."--Heather Bell Adams, author of Maranatha Road and The Good Luck Stone, "While Inside the Mirror is set in a specific place and period, the themes explored are universal and still valid. At heart, the novel is about young women finding their true identities and fighting all odds to stay true to their sense of self."--Girija Sankar, Khabar Magazine, "This is a dense story packed with rich characters and brimming with timely references to India's changing landscape. A forbidden Bengali boy adds to the social pressures the Malhotra sisters must navigate on the harrowing road to self-fulfillment. Through it all, Kapur infuses her protagonists with agency even as she remains honest in her depiction of the personal cost Jaya and Kamlesh pay. . . . [Her] admiration for those who came before her unfolds in sweeping layers of vivid descriptions, cloistered emotions and characters who linger in the mind long after the tale's conclusion."--Leah Tyler, Atlanta Journal-Constitution, " Inside the Mirror is an extraordinary and moving story about twin sisters, Jaya and Kamlesh, as they struggle to pursue their passion and independence as women artists from a conservative society. Crafted with elegance and precision, and heartrending in its exploration of family drama, this novel is a beautiful and ambitious work of fiction."--Brandon Hobson, National Book Award finalist and author of The Removed, "With breathtaking lyricism and scorching insight, Kapur captures women in flux brilliantly. This profound book complicates the impact of colonialism and throbs with life. Inside the Mirror is an extraordinary novel."--Jennifer Maritza McCauley, author of When Trying to Return Home, " Inside the Mirror is an extraordinary and moving story about twin sisters Jaya and Kamlesh as they struggle to pursue their passion and independence as women artists from a conservative society. Crafted with elegance and precision, and heartrending in its exploration of family drama, this novel is a beautiful and ambitious work of fiction."--Brandon Hobson, National Book Award finalist and author of The Removed, "Focused on gender roles, art and reimagination, this remarkable debut features twin sisters who take different paths in 1950s India. As one complies with her father's wishes, the other risks it all to live with agency, authenticity and ambition."--Karla J. Strand, Ms. Magazine

Her twin sister, Kamlesh, a passionate student of Bharata Natyam dance, complies with her father's decision that she become a schoolteacher while secretly pursuing forbidden dreams of dancing onstage and in the movies. When Jaya moves out of her family home to live with a woman mentor, she suffers grievous consequences as a rare woman in the men's domain of art.

Jaya's story encompasses art, history, political revolt, love, and women's ambition to seize their own power., Visionary twin sisters aspire to become artists in 1950s India, confronting a society hostile to women claiming their place in the world.
