Bani Basu’s debut novel establishes her as a storyteller who goes beyond simple narration.
The novel examines the challenges faced by Indians living abroad, particularly the second generation born in foreign lands.
These individuals find themselves torn between two identities—their birthplace (janmabhumi) and their motherland (matribhumi), India.
The story is told through the perspectives of multiple characters, offering a balanced, multi-dimensional view.
Set against the backdrop of India and America, the novel presents realistic struggles, thought-provoking dilemmas, and deeply emotional conflicts.
