‘Dynamite’ Bookseller

‘A heart-warming read’ Guardian

‘A witty, evocative read that’ll keep you gripped’ Company

‘A little gem of fiction’ New Woman

Evita Vishavan is stuck in a 9 to 5 job and going nowhere fast.

Raised in London to fulfil her parents’ dreams of respectability, Evita yearns for something more.

Risking it all, and abandoning her career and life in London, her journey takes her back to her roots in Kerala where she discovers that perhaps what she’s wanted all along, is a little closer to home.

What might happen if she dares live her dream?
