Klappentext

Flowery is at the beginning of her career as an English teacher when she takes responsibility for the care of her hypochondriac mother. This is the story of three women, Flowery, her mother and her grandmother, the legacies each inherits and outgrows, and the changing India they live in. Spanning a century, set in the villages of pre-independence India and a present day city, the lives of three generations of women weave a tale filled with memory, dreams and reality.
