description: Anuradha Roy weaves an evocative and deeply moving tale of a young woman making a new life for herself amid the foothills of the Himalaya. Desperate to leave a private tragedy behind Maya abandons herself to the rhythms of the little village where people coexist peacefully with nature. But all is not as it seems and she soon learns that no refuge is remote enough to keep out the modern world. When power-hungry politicians threaten her beloved mountain community Maya finds herself caught between the life she left behind and the new home she is determined to protect.
