Description
In 1909, Allarmelu's life is turned upside down when her mother dies. Her world is one of privilege and shelter, but now she must find her own way in a changing environment. A family heirloom, the pomegranate-coloured wedding sari, has been stolen, and Allarmelu sets out to track it down. As she searches for the sari, Allarmelu uncovers secrets about her family's past, including hidden mistresses, exotic dancers, and incendiary family dynamics. A mysterious diary reveals a complex web of stories that span decades, from 19th-century India to the present day. The Sari of Surya Vilas is a poignant tale of self-discovery, set against the backdrop of family secrets, betrayals, and promises. The story weaves together vivid narratives, exploring themes of identity, community, and the struggle for independence in India's past.
