About the Boook :

On August 15, 1947, India celebrated its long-awaited Independence, but beneath the jubilation lay heartbreak. As the nation rejoiced, millions were uprooted by the brutal Partition.

Ranjeeta's Story begins in this turbulent time, where a young woman's hopes are crushed by violence, loss, and the weight of tradition.

Decades later, when Ananya arrives from London to visit her ailing grandmother, she unknowingly embarks on a journey into her family's hidden past, unravelling long-buried stories that connect her to her roots and eventually change the course of her life.

Inspired by real-life accounts from Partition survivors, this deeply moving novel is a tribute to the countless lives that were altered forever. It is a poignant exploration of love, resilience, and the emotional scars of a generation whose stories must never be forgotten.
