Set in both Canada and Bangladesh, Home of the Floating Lily follows the lives of the characters as they navigate the complexities of migration, displacement, love, friendship, and familial conflict. A young woman moves to Toronto after getting married but soon discovers her husband is not who she believes him to be. A mother reconciles her heartbreak when her sons defy her expectations and choose their own paths in life. A lonely international student returns to Bangladesh and forms an unexpected bond with her domestic helper. A working-class woman, caught between her love for Bangladesh and her determination to raise her daughter in Canada, makes a decision after a dark secret from the past is revealed. In each of the stories, characters embark on difficult journeys in the search of love, dignity, and a sense of belonging."--|cProvided by publisher. 530 Issued also in electronic format. 650 0 Bengali (South Asian people)|zCanada|vFiction. 650 7 Bengali (South Asian people)|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00830359 651 0 Scarborough (Toronto, Ont.)|vFiction. 651 0 Bangladesh|vFiction. 651 7 Bangladesh.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01213724 651 7 Canada.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01204310 655 7 Fiction.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 Short stories.|2lcgft 776 08 |iOnline version:|aAbdullah, Silmy, 1984-|tHome of the floating lily.|dToronto : Dundurn Press, 2021|z1459748182 |z9781459748187|w(OCoLC)1232475219 994 C0|bMCP
