About The Book

In Redgold Tree, Debotri Dhar weaves a captivating narrative that spans continents, cultures, and generations. The story begins with Megan Adams, a woman propelled into an unforeseen journey by a spiteful anonymous letter and the promise of a redgold tree. Her quest takes her from the suburban tranquility of Princeton and the high-crime neighborhoods of Newark, USA, to the bustling streets of New Delhi, from the opulent enclaves to the narrow, chaotic bazars of the old city. What starts as a search for answers soon becomes an exploration of a past long buried, as Megan uncovers secrets that intertwine with her own.

On the other side of the world is Naina, a young Indian woman grappling with the stark divide between the traditional and modern facets of life in Delhi. The heir to a long-held tradition, Naina finds herself caught between the rhythms of the old city—its sarangi music, anklet whispers, and the legacy of her ancestors—and the relentless pace of the industrialized world around her. As her story unfolds, Naina must navigate love, loss, and the impossible choices that define her future.

As Megan and Naina’s worlds collide, Redgold Tree emerges as a poignant saga of friendship, liberation, and the timeless struggles of women across cultures. In this powerful narrative, the author explores themes of identity, the clash between old and new worlds, and the journeys we take to find ourselves.
