Description
Spanning 1990s South India and contemporary Australia, this emotionally charged mystery follows Janani, a young mother forced to confront the brutal consequences of a culture that devalues daughters, and Nila, an Australian-raised woman whose family journey to Madurai awakens long-buried questions about her identity. As the two generations’ stories converge, secrets, sacrifice, and the enduring bond between mothers and daughters come sharply into focus. Exploring female infanticide, family expectations, migration, and the resilience of women, this poignant debut is both a gripping tale of discovery and a powerful testament to love’s ability to survive across time and distance.
