Description:A classic from one of India's greatest writers with a stunning new cover in water colour.Gone are the days when Nanda Kaul watched over her family and played the part of Vice-Chancellor's wife.

Nanda is at first dismayed at this break in her preciously acquired solitude. Fiercely taciturn, Raka is, like her, quite untamed. The girl prefers the company of apricot trees and animals to her great-grandmother's, and spends her afternoons rambling over the mountainside. But the two are more alike than they know.
