Canadian author Kirti Bhadresa was born in Red Deer, Alberta to Indian parents who had travelled far and wide before settling there. In her debut collection An Astonishment of Stars, she honors the lives of women - sisters, wives and mothers - who are caught between two worlds. ECW Press has graciously permitted us to share an excerpt from "In a Name" taken form the audiobook edition of An Astonishment of Stars, read by Roveena Gnanabakthan. https://beingkirti.com/an-astonishment-of-stars
