But I would suggest that you seek out a summary of the events in the earlier novel, maybe here or here. This exciting debut is intelligently built, with clever characters, surprise twists, plenty of action, subtly detailed worlds, and a plot that highlights social and racial inequities in astute prose. While the protagonists share a closer relationship than many servants and masters in India, Sera looks down upon Bhima and refuses to let her sit on a chair in her house or drink from the same glass. The protagonists experience parallel situations in their lives: abuse from men they loved, enduring "shame and disappointment", expecting the successes of their children to bring them happiness, and comforting each other through their bond. Bhima has looked after her granddaughter Maya since she was a small child but now, at 17 years old, Maya has become pregnant and refuses to disclose the identity of the father.Sera is disgusted by Bhima's physical attributes and she is forbidden to use the family dishes or sit at the table. In present-day Bombay, Bhima leaves her slum each day to work as a domestic in a wealthy widow’s home. She would notice how people’s faces turned slightly upward when they stared at the sea, as if they were straining to see a trace of God or were hearing the silent humming of the universe; she would notice how, at the beach, people’s faces became soft and wistful, reminding her of the expressions on the faces of the sweet old dogs that roamed the streets of Bombay. I think readers who enjoy authors such as Diane Chamberlain or Kristin Hannah may well enjoy this novel.
