More about the book

Amidst the turmoil of an impending arranged marriage, Vasti grapples with the horrifying revelation that her fiancé is her childhood assailant. Faced with the choice of challenging societal norms or conforming to tradition, she collapses and dreams of the tragic fate of three wives of an 18th-century Indian king, who are preparing for suttee. This parallel narrative explores themes of oppression, female agency, and the haunting legacy of tradition across cultures and centuries.
