Baldwin\u2019s latest novel has been referred to as a deeply imagined, enthralling work, where two fascinating, strong-willed women deal with the relentless logic forced upon them for survival:\u00a0 Damini, a Hindu midwife, and Anu, who flees an abusive marriage for the sanctuary of the Catholic church. Shauna Singh Baldwin’s first novel, What the Body Remembers, is the story of two women in a polygamous marriage in occupied India.
