On the eve of the monsoons, in a remote Indian village, Kavita gives birth to Asha. But in a culture that favours sons, the only way for Kavita to save her newborn daughter's life is to give her away. Interweaving the stories of Kavita, Somer, and Asha, this novel explores issues of culture and belonging.
Reviews: Elizabeth (Canada) (2010/06/27):
The Blurb on the back of the book says:

On the eve of the monsoon, in a remote Indian village, Kavita gives birth to a baby girl. But in a culture that favors sons, the only way for Kavita to save her newborn daughter's life is to give her away. It is a decision that will haunt her and her husband for the rest of their lives, even after the arrival of their cherished son.
