Description
Set against the backdrop of India's Emergency in the 1970s, this novel offers a poignant look at the lives of two elite families grappling with a nation in turmoil. As political freedoms erode, the narrative explores the sacrifices and forgotten ideals of India's past through the eyes of its characters. The story delves into the complexities of personal integrity and the enduring spirit of freedom amidst a period of profound societal change. Sahgal masterfully examines how historical events shape individual destinies and challenge the very fabric of society.
