Description

India's independence is told through the lives of three sisters, each with their own desires and flaws. Their story takes place against the backdrop of the partition of British India in 1947, a time marked by devastating events, inspiring moments, and triumphant struggles. The novel follows Priya, Deepa, and Jamini as they navigate the violent events unfolding around them. As their father is killed during a riot, their world is turned upside down, and even their neighbors turn against them. The sisters must come to terms with the drastic change brought about by the partition of India, where Hindus are now forced to live in one country, and Muslims in another. Through their experiences, Divakaruni brings to life the sweeping story of three sisters caught up in events beyond their control, their unbreakable bond, and their incredible struggle against powerful odds.
