Beschreibung

A sweeping, compulsive saga of three generations of women -- and the ghost of a man cut in two on a railway track -- spanning Calcutta, London, and New York.

Chatterjee Mansion is a 1940s art deco house in Calcutta, its polished marble floors and elegant rooms concealing decades of lies and silences. One rain-soaked night, the turn of a single key unlocks a story that propels the women of the house on a journey across the realms of the living and the dead, shattering everything they believed to be true.

And I Am The Arrow is a kaleidoscopic tale of flight and survival, forbidden love and squandered ambition, and secrets hidden in plain sight. At its center is Mishu, a young woman newly returned to India just as her grandmother Niyoti, the family matriarch, slips into a coma. As Mishu, her mother Ira, and their longtime servant Bani wait to see whether Niyoti will wake or leave them forever, long-buried truths rise to the surface.

What emerges is a rich and dramatic story of India's social and political upheavals, intertwined with the family's triumphs and sacrifices -- a haunting exploration of memory, inheritance, and the invisible threads that bind generations together.
