The Limits of the World: A Novel

Audio CD (Blackstone Audio April 16, 2019) , Unabridged AUDIO edition

Spanning four generations and three continents, Acker brings us the story of the Chandarias: Sunil, a struggling philosophy doctoral candidate, and his parents Urmila and Premchand.

Sunil's sudden marriage to his Jewish American girlfriend Amy compels a tumultuous family reunion in Nairobi, his parents' birthplace. After learning a long-buried family secret, and enduring a severe trauma, Sunil and Amy try to sustain their love as they wrestle with the weight of difference.

With utmost respect for an endless mosaic of cultural divisions, Acker brings a stunning empathy to the limits that prevent us from truly understanding the people we are closest to.
