Blood had begun to trickle down Asha's starched
cotton salwar, and once more she tried to will herself to stay calm. It
was nothing. These things happened.But these things haven't happened
before. It's August 1947, the night before India's independence. It is
also the night before Pakistan's creation and the brutal Partition of
the two countries. Asha, a Hindu in a newly Muslim land, must flee to
safety. She carries with her a secret she has kept even from Firoze, her
Muslim lover, but Firoze must remain in Pakistan, and increasing
tensions between the two countries mean the couple can never reunite.
Fifty years later in New York, Asha's Indian granddaughter falls in love
with a Pakistani, and Asha and Firoze, meeting again at last, are faced
with one more final choice.
