Book excerpt: Growing up as a strong-headed single child with a privileged upbringing in Calcutta, Devi has learnt much from her surroundings. Her childhood memories are filled with mixed emotions - especially as she remains angry with her mother and the hypocrisy of women in India.On an unexpected journey home, she encounters reality - new stories and experiences of strangers, as well as friends. It has been years since she left Calcutta, yet the city's untold stories haunt her. This time Devi is back in town to solve issues and above all, through some painful and hard revelations, to make peace with those she can.
