Mira is a teacher living in the heart of Suryam, a modern, bustling city in India and the only place in the world the fickle Rasagura fruit grows. Mira lives alone and with only the French existentialists as companions, until the day she witnesses a beautiful woman having a seizure in the park. Mira runs to help her but is cautious, for she could have sworn the woman looked around to see if anyone was watching right before the seizure began.
Mira is quickly drawn into the lives of this mysterious woman named Sara, who suffers myriad unexplained illnesses, and her kind, intensely supportive husband, Rahil, striking up intimate, volatile, and fragile friendships with each of them that quickly become something more.
Intoxicated by their attention and eager to unravel the mystery of Sara's illness, Mira wonders if Sara is unwell. Is she faking it for attention? Is it a psychological disorder? Or is Rahil making Sara sick to keep her wings clipped?
A moving exploration of loss, Mukherjee delivers an intense and unexpected modern love story as Mira reconciles reality with desire.

Mundane and profound in the best of ways

The reader was awful. I cringed at her butchered pronunciation of basic Hindi words like the names of the cities, gulab jamun, “appa” etc. I wish she had put some effort into pronouncing the words accurately instead of sounding them out like a person just not familiar with the language. Her reading made this book even harder to get through.
I’ll commend the author on taking a few taboo topics and weaving them together into a unique storyline but I wish she had developed her characters in meaningful ways. This book felt rushed and elementary, almost like a college essay that included lots of references to other authors to fill up the lack of depth in the plot and the characters.
Disappointing
