Description
A debut novel from India that offers a fresh perspective on the country's experience. Ruchir Joshi has found a unique voice to explore the complexities of Indian history and culture. The story follows three generations of a Gujarati family, tracing their lives from the 1930s to the first decades of the next century. The grandparents, who met during a non-violent demonstration against British rule, embody the principles of Gandhi's philosophy. Their son, Paresh, grows up torn between different paths, while his daughter Para becomes a squadron leader in the Indian Air Force, challenging her family's values. This novel explores the trajectory of Indian history from non-violence to conflict, offering a nuanced and thought-provoking portrayal of a nation's development.
