The Magnificent Ruins (Walter Mosley)

Having spent childhood in Kolkata but the rest of her life in the states, she suddenly inherits the family estate when her grandpa dies. Unsure of how to proceed, she returns to Kolkata and is met with suspicion and resentment from her family—PLUS, her childhood love pops back up. Themes: outsider-ness, difficult mother/daughter relationships, old flames, power that you didn’t seek to have.
