SYNOPSIS
New York resident Namrata Jadav returns to her hometown in India
in response to a desperate plea from her mother. She is tasked with looking for
her brother, Sandeep, who has been wrongly implicated in a brutal murder and
appears to have gone missing. Supported by a fiery activist and an ambitious
journalist, she embarks on a mission that exposes her to violence and brings
her into conflict with a vindictive police chief.
Namrata’s quest leads her to Mumbai, where she finds her
brother a recovering alcoholic haunted by the past and afraid to return to his
hometown, where he could face imprisonment or even be killed.
Will Namrata convince Sandeep to come home to reclaim his life, restore their family’s honour, and help nail those responsible for a horrific crime – or will she be stopped by forces hell-bent on destroying her?
A book for our times, Indian
Summer touches upon such perennial societal issues as dowry deaths, the
abuse of power, the exploitation of women, and hidebound patriarchal attitudes.
It is an absorbing tale about a family keeping itself from falling apart amidst
the vagaries of fate and circumstance. A story of faith, redemption, and
reconciliation, it has a lesson for us all.
