Memory’s Daughter – Krishna Sobti

Description

Krishna Sobti’s pathbreaking first novel, Memory’s Daughter follows in young Pasho’s footsteps as she is bought and sold like cattle in the strife-torn climate of the Afghan and Anglo-Sikh wars of 19th century Punjab. A tumultuous tale of a search for one’s roots, of love, loss, and honor-bound ties, and a powerful portrait of a woman who suffers, endures, and survives. Katha presents another milestone of modern Hindi literature.
