When her marriage falls apart, Pervez, a young Parsi woman belonging to an affluent family, returns to Mumbai. As she begins to pick up the pieces of her old life, attending social gatherings and deciding on future plans, she is drawn into the activist movement in the city. In the months preceding the demolition of the Babri Masjid, with the mandir-masjid debate heating up around her, Pervez finds herself confronting fundamental beliefs regarding social privilege, justice, religion and secularism. Her outrage at the demolition and the subsequent violence that rips through the city---and the country---is tempered by a survival instinct that propels her into action and eventual catharsis.

Visceral and thought-provoking, Meher Pestonji's brilliant novel, first published in 2003, compels us to shake off our complacency and take a hard look at the world around us.

Meher Pestonji was born in 1946 and grew up in Mumbai where she lives as a single parent with her two daughters. From the mid-seventies she has been a journalist, participating in the activist movement of her times the campaign to change rape laws, the campaign for slum dwellers' housing rights and the struggle to provide a better understanding of street kids and their special needs. She switched to creative writing in 1999 and published a collection of short stories titled Mixed Marriage and Other Parsi Stories.
