In modern Melbourne, Rosemary is introduced to a horrific truth about her parents, Shabana and Ted – a truth that goes all the way back to Kolkata, 1975. Even before the national crisis of the Emergency, social divisions are widening. Dark times are gathering.

Kolkata is also where Shabana and Ted meet: Shabana is a maid in the foreign office, while Ted is a young diplomat from Melbourne. The two form an unconventional relationship that grows into love under the shadow of Urdu poetry and Western literature.

Against cultural differences, both fight for acceptance – Ted from his manipulative mother, and Shabana from her overbearing father. They find themselves caught in a web of family secrets and betrayal, all to be re-introduced forty years later to Rosemary.

Will Rosemary take revenge?

Or will she disappear into the realm of her happiness?

Industry Reviews

The story goes far beyond the clich d concepts of cross cultural romance and identity crisis. Set against an accurate political backdrop of recent Indian as well as Australian history the book evokes memories of writers like Paul Scott.
Kumud Merani, Executive Producer, SBS Hindi

Through her beautiful writing, Nandita Chakraborty puts the spotlight back on the relevance of "social acceptance" and relationships and unveils a hypocrisy that is quite universal - be it India or Australia.
