Independence by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni

Independence by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni

In a village outside Calcutta in 1946, three sisters are living an ordinary life until their father, a doctor, is killed at Direct Action Day. What follows takes each of them in a different direction.

One wants to be a doctor herself, one is drawn to the freedom movement, one to marriage and money. Divakaruni writes the famine, the riots and the partition of Bengal through a household rather than a parliament, and the question the novel keeps asking is what independence actually delivered to the women in it.

From the author of The Palace of Illusions — historical fiction set in Bengal at the moment of Partition.
