A forgotten trunk. Three centuries of letters. One city that refuses to drown.
When an elderly woman in 1963 Pondicherry discovers a weather-beaten trunk that washes ashore at dawn, she unearths a hidden history—letters and journals spanning from the first French ships of the 1600s to the city’s emotional merger with India.
Each page reveals the intertwined lives of merchants, rebels, lovers, governors, soldiers, monks, and ordinary families who lived through wars, sieges, cyclones, colonial rule, and the long struggle for identity.
From Dupleix’s ambitions to the razing of 1761, from clandestine nationalist printshops to spiritual awakenings at the Ashram, THE CITY BETWEEN TIDES weaves a sweeping, unforgettable saga of Pondicherry’s transformation across three centuries.
Through love and war, silence and survival, the city becomes not a backdrop—but a living character shaped by the tides of empire and the resilience of its people.
Perfect for readers of Amin Maalouf, Amitav Ghosh, Kate Morton, Ken Follett, and Anthony Doerr, this richly layered historical epic explores one timeless truth:
Belonging is not where you are born—it is where your heart stops searching.
