''Takes all the expected stories about growing up Indian American, slices them open with razor-sharp wit, and turns them inside out'' CELESTE NG, author of OUR MISSING HEARTS''Nina McConigley is a true original . . . Heart-mending and heart-breaking - as only the truth can be'' TAYARI JONES, author of AN AMERICAN MARRIAGEGeorgie and Agatha Krishna killed their uncle, and they blame the British.Summer, 1986. Tween sisters Georgie Ayyar and Agatha Krishna welcome their aunt, uncle and young cousin - newly arrived from India - into their house in rural Wyoming where they''ll all live together.

Her account is cheeky, unflinching and infectiously inflected with the trappings of teendom: pen pal letters, how-to guides, games of MASH and teen-magazine-style quizzes. And the tale she weaves is either:a) a vivid portrait of an extended familyb) a moving story of sisterhoodc) a playful ode to the ... Unknown localization key: "more"
