When renowned painter Mira Novak dies mysteriously after a miscarriage in Bombay, her nurse Sona—entranced by Mira’s glamorous past—suddenly finds herself under suspicion. Left with four paintings and a cryptic note, Sona embarks on a journey across pre-war Europe to clear her name and uncover the truth. As she retraces Mira’s life, she begins to untangle the artist’s secrets and discovers her own sense of self. Inspired by the life of Amrita Sher-Gil, bestselling author Alka Joshi crafts a richly layered tale of identity, desire and the search for belonging.
