About the Book

A mysterious box, strange contents, and an enigmatic letter urging her to search for someone long believed dead—these are the fragments of the past Sanya inherits when her formidable grandmother, Saudamini Malviya dies, leaving behind more than just wealth and grief.

As Sanya follows the clues, she is drawn into the tangled relationships of three generations of women—Saudamini, her daughter Anusuya, and Sanya herself. A hidden family history emerges, stretching back to pre-Independence India, a period of political upheaval, forbidden loyalties, and dangerous silences. Her past had been guarded fiercely—perhaps desperately.

Moving between past and present, Sanya uncovers buried truths, hidden identities, and choices that shaped three generations of women.

Some stories demand to be told.

Others are buried for a reason.

And Sanya must decide: are all secrets meant to be revealed—or are some better left unsaid?
