Delhi, 1946
Ma and Bappu teach at the local universityTheir fourteen year-old daughter Alma is soon to be married but she is mostly interested in spinning wild stories for her beloved younger sister Roop.
Times are bad for girls in India. The long-awaited independence from British rule brings unrest that threatens to unravel the rich tapestry of Delhi, and when Partition happens, Ma, Bappu, Alma and Roop are forced to find increasingly desperate ways to survive.
But the the power of hope is an extraordinary thing...
MEET THE FAMILY AT THE HEART OF MOTH:
Alma: the beating heart of the novelWe meet her as a precocious 14-year old who becomes entangled with the chaos of Partition with devastating consequences
Roop: Alma''s younger sister. Obsessed with death, she is a fierce, funny and rather wild child trying to make sense of the destruction that has befallen her family
Ma and Bappu: their dream of an independent India collapses under the weight of HistoryMa''s experience mirrors that of the many Indian women who were hoping for new freedom under an independent India - and had to face more harassment and insecurity instead
And many more: the Muslim nanny, forced to hide in a water tank; the widowed house-keeper whose mission is to keep the family together; the old grandmother, obsessed with the family''s honour and determined to preserve it no matter the cost...
