In "Valmiki's Daughter," critically acclaimed and best-selling novelist Shani Mootoo returns to the style -- and some of the themes -- she first explored in her breakout book, "Cereus Blooms at Night." Mootoo introduces readers to the Krishnus, a well-to-do Trinidadian family firmly ensconced in the strict social hierarchy of the island.
