It’s not a book about God, either. You might think it is a book about goodness and what it means to be a good person, but it isn’t. Like everything else, this is about love.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Sita Walker was raised by five strong matriarchs who taught her to believe in God and to be good. Her grandmother, mother and three aunts believed in their unshakeable Bahá’í faith, in the power of prayer, in sacrifice, in magic, in the healing of turmeric and tea, and the wisdom of dreams. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n But as hard as she tries to be good, Sita always suspects that deep down, she isn’t very good at all.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n At thirty-five, she hasn’t prayed in years, her dream of true love has died, and along with it, her faith – not that she’s telling her mother, or her aunts. Now, the only way she can fulfill her destiny is to seek out the wisdom of the ones who came before, and truly understand the women who raised her. But will they understand her? Either way, the matriarchy will never be the same again.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTraversing decades and continents – from Iran to India, Sri Lanka to the Czech Republic, Adelaide to the Torres Strait – \u003ci\u003eThe God of No Good\u003c\/i\u003e is a beautifully lyrical and funny intergenerational memoir about six women and how their lives intertwine. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eFilled with wit and wisdom, it is a story that only Sita Walker could tell, but it will resonate with readers everywhere. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n ‘Gestures of love leave the deepest imprint, be it Walker’s grandmother brewing masala chai or plucking a jam-coated chapati from her apron pocket. \u003ci\u003eThe God of No Good\u003c\/i\u003e is a moving debut exploding with heart, warmth and wisdom, for fans of Zadie Smith, Alice Pung and Candice Carty-Williams.’ – \u003ci\u003eBooks+Publishing\u003c\/i\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45331611746462,"sku":"TLD-9781761151316","price":36.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781761151316.jpg?v=1744772481","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781761151316","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
