Description
In a city newly shadowed by political unrest, seventeen-year-old Meera is uprooted and thrown into a life she never planned—until she meets Dev, whose music awakens a fierce, unsettling intensity. As their connection deepens, love and desire collide with the demands of family and the daily pressures of survival in a nation on edge. Told with unflinching emotional realism, the novel follows Meera’s drift from youthful longing to the fierce, complicated devotion of motherhood, culminating in the birth of her son, Ashvin. Woven through with questions of faith and fate, the story explores the cost of passion and the hard, tender work of protecting a child when the world won’t hold steady.
