Description
Seventeen-year-old Korobi has grown up in a privileged Indian household, raised by loving grandparents and protected from the painful mystery surrounding her parents’ deaths. When a hidden message and a devastating revelation threaten her carefully arranged future, she sets out on a journey that takes her from Kolkata to the United States in the aftermath of September 11. As she uncovers long-buried family secrets, Korobi must confront questions of identity, belonging, love, and the cost of silence. Richly atmospheric and emotionally resonant, this novel explores the collision between tradition and modernity across two continents.
