«Un jardín en Badalpur» is the novel by Kenizé Mourad, published by Taller Mario Muchnik in paperback (470 pages, in Spanish).
Zahr grows up in France and, after being orphaned, discovers that her father is Amir, the raja of Badalpur. She travels to India and finds a country marked by violence between Hindus and Muslims, discrimination against women, and poverty. Her struggle to preserve the garden that Amir gave to her mother, Selma, unites the personal with the social and the political.
The work was originally published in French in 1998 under the title «Le jardin de Badalpour»; this Spanish edition is from 2005.
For readers of contemporary fiction interested in India and in stories that intertwine personal drama with social conflict.
