Description

Navasari, India. Nirmala is suffocating in a loveless marriage, counting every rupee and, with the last of her strength, caring for her sick son, Varun. And opposite their poor home, from the balcony of an imposing mansion once built by her grandfather, Nirmala’s aunt—hard and merciless—watches her niece’s suffering with cold contempt and refuses to lend a helping hand.

But one day a strange letter arrives from Zimbabwe—addressed to Nirmala’s father, who has long been dead. From that moment on, the past that she never even suspected begins to unfold before her, and the future she has so far been afraid to hope for. The letter hints that in Africa Nirmala has loved ones—and that a secret is hidden in the family history, one that affects three generations.

A journey to Zimbabwe can give Nirmala and her son a chance at a new life, but it may also reignite the long-standing feud with their aunt—the one that pushed their family into poverty. And yet Nirmala is willing to stake everything to get to the truth.
