About this book

Jaya, a New York journalist, faces profound grief following her third miscarriage and the deterioration of her marriage. Seeking solace and answers about her family history, she travels to India. Immersed in the country's culture, Jaya learns from Ravi, her grandmother's former servant and confidant, about her grandmother's life during the British occupation. Through his account, she discovers her grandmother's resilience, struggles, secret love, and tragic experiences. As Jaya uncovers this family legacy, she finds within herself a strength she had not previously recognized, while also experiencing the healing power of understanding her family's past.
