  Set in Mumbai, this novel traces the political maturation of Pervez, a young Parsi woman. After her marriage to a Christian man falls apart, she is drawn into the activist movement just before the demolition of the Babri Masjid.

  • Coming from an affluent background, Pervez begins confronting her own fundamental beliefs surrounding social privilege, justice, religion, and secularism.

  • Her outrage at the events around her is tempered by an instinct for survival, pushing her into action and eventually leading to a cathartic change in her life.

  • The novel offers a deep dive into contemporary political issues while providing insight into the Parsi way of life.
