Resumen del Editor

In the spirit of Khaled Hosseini, Nadia Hashimi, and Shilpi Somaya Gowda comes this powerful debut from a talented new voice - a sweeping, emotional journey of two childhood friends in Mumbai, India, whose lives converge only to change forever one fateful night.

India, 1986: Mukta, a 10-year-old village girl from the lower-caste Yellama cult, has come of age and must fulfill her destiny of becoming a temple prostitute, as her mother and grandmother did before her. In an attempt to escape her fate, Mukta is sent to be a house girl for an upper-middle class family in Mumbai. There she discovers a friend in the daughter of the family, high-spirited eight-year-old Tara, who helps her recover from the wounds of her past. Tara introduces Mukta to an entirely different world - one of ice cream, reading, and a friendship that soon becomes a sisterhood.

But one night in 1993, Mukta is kidnapped from Tara's family home and disappears. Shortly thereafter, Tara and her father move to America. A new life in Los Angeles awaits them, but Tara never recovers from the loss of her best friend or stops wondering if she was somehow responsible for Mukta's abduction.

Eleven years later Tara, now an adult, returns to India determined to find Mukta. As her search takes her into the brutal underground world of human trafficking, Tara begins to uncover long-buried secrets in her own family that might explain what happened to Mukta - and why she came to live with Tara's family in the first place.

Moving from a traditional Indian village to the bustling modern metropolis of Mumbai to Los Angeles and back again, this is a heartbreaking and beautiful portrait of an unlikely friendship - a story of love, betrayal, and ultimately redemption.

I enjoyed hearing the two main characters going back and forth between their lives building. this book kept me listening for hours. just loved it. this story reveals a world I had no idea was happening. gripping is the final word.

A beautiful story

A beautiful story narrated well that is based on the real life struggles amongst the women of a particular caste in India. A Worthwhile read but it is very sad and disturbing given the facts of the story. The story describes the real life of so many women in India.

Depressing, but a Damn Good Book

This book was so sad but beautifully written. Tara did not deserve the redemption and forgiveness given to her by Mukta. She was cruel and age does not excuse her callousness.

Couldn't stop listening

Devastating realistic fiction, beautifully written and narrated, despite an utterly disturbing story. Still, I couldn't put it down.

I really enjoyed this one

I've been delving into a lot of different books about the lives of women in India. I really like this one. there was some points where it was kind of hard to like one of the main protagonists But you can still see her value and good heart.
The narration was fantastic!!! I can't say enough about that because it can make or break an audiobook as we all know.

Heart wrenching but uplifting

Heart wrenching but uplifting story of friendship and love that gives painful insight into bombay brothels. It was a good story and I really liked it.

Well worth a listen

A difficult topic combined with cultural differences for many of us yet told in such a beautiful manner. Many God bless and strengthen those who work on the front lines against forced prostitution. Well and sensitively told, well read, this is well worth a listen.
