Risa
Dorothea Hill
Upon the death of her mother, Risa Bruce travels to Simla, India to find her missionary father, Alan Bruce, whom she has never met. With no other family left, Risa has sold her art gallery back in California, giving full energy to pursue her quest.
When Risa questions people who knew Alan, she learns that he vanished twenty years ago. Strangely hostile toward her quest, they deny any knowledge of his present whereabouts. With clues garnered from their search, Risa and Kumar, her Indian lover, finally discover why the mystery of Alan Bruce has been safeguarded for so many years.
Review: "This novel is filled with gorgeous, descriptive passages about India, the customs, the beauty of the country, and the harsh reality of poverty. Although the plot is at times predictable, the ending delivers."
