The world is not what it seems...
Maryam senses an absence of self-recognition on noticing a lone daffodil bloom in Noor-e-Jehan's (grandmother) decaying garden. Suddenly feeling unloved and forgotten, she embarks on a journey of self-discovery, flitting between two houses. The first is a diseased house with an age-inducing virus that spreads from the nonliving to the living. Here she lives with Noor-e-Jehan and her wizened maid, Nazira. The other house she frequents is a grand Haveli inhabited by a friendly presence.
Her reality is fragmented across several family anecdotes. Turning into a story seeker, Maryam deciphers each family anecdote through the pristine lens of innocence, shaking the family tree for its forbidden fruit and nourishing her inner wastelands.
Startling revelations about Noor-e-Jehan and her three vibrant lovers-each teeming with explosive secrets-as well as about Sanam's (mother) traumatic past shatters the façade of predictability. Every known truth becomes a deception. Will Bilal fill the void within her?
Maryam's odyssey takes an unexpected turn leading to a deeper mystery about her own fallacies and hidden desires. An absorbing coming-of-age saga about a girl's tenacity and her pursuit of 'ishq.
