Read a sample Read a sample

At the age of twelve, Rukmini, daughter of a village priest, is wed to Sarangan, a sophisticated journalist seventeen years her senior. Although this stranger would take her away from the only life she's known, Rukmini has been raised to treat her parents' intentions as her own. Though loneliness consumes her, she comes to love him and finds happiness as a young wife and mother. Thus begins her 'lucky life.' When tragedy strikes, Rukmini is left alone to navigate the outside world to fend for herself and her children, surviving in a hostile and unforgiving society. In this poignant debut, S. Priyadarsini weaves an intricate tale of a woman's search for love, acceptance, and triumph in a society where a woman is a mere extension of her father, husband, or son—seen but not heard.
