In the midst of protecting her ancestral home from the commercial instincts of her brother, Ila is swept into the past. A Past full of women, in generation after generation, caught between the pain of tradition and the fear of change. Of Kamala who, though wed at twelve, dared to walk out of an abusive marriage. Of Venku Bai who chose not to. And of Many other women who dared, and yet did not dare quite enough.
