Set in 1955 India, this novel follows the story of Mîra, a seventeen-year-old who, after a series of unexpected events, is forced to marry a man of a lower social standing. Raised in an environment that valued female emancipation and atheism, Mîra must adapt to a conservative Hindu family where her freedom is restricted. Caught between an authoritarian father and a loveless marriage, she finds refuge in her absolute devotion to her son. This work deeply explores female passions and the cultural and religious conflicts that marked the modernization of contemporary India. With captivating prose, Manil Suri builds a moving tale about identity, sacrifice, and the search for one's own place in a constantly changing world.
