Born a princess of the Royal Household of Balmer, Jaya Singh is torn between the traditions of her upbringing and the ideals of the Mahatma. Grounded in details of ancient royal tradition and Hindu ritual, this story is set against the complex political realities involved in the passing of the Raj and the birth of two nations, India and Pakistan.
Gita Mehta's captivating and enchanting novel tells the story of a retired beurocrat who has escaped the world to spend his twilight years running a guest-house on the banks of the country's holiest river, the Narmada.
With a novelist's eye for detail and colour, Gita Mehta writes of the continent of contradictions that is host to one-sixth of the world's population. It has the world's largest film industry, and the world's oldest religions. Now as never before, the world wants to know what contemporary India is all about.
