Dev Sharma grew up in America under the guidance of his brilliant but withdrawn mother. She filled his childhood with history, literature, philosophy, and stories from many civilizations, shaping the person he would become. Yet much of her own life remained a mystery. When Dev travels to Lucknow, India, for a summer internship, he begins to uncover a hidden chapter in his mother's past-one marked by intellectual passion, forbidden ideas, and long-buried family secrets. As he pieces together her story, he comes to see both his mother and himself in a new light. A literary novel about family, identity, memory, and the enduring bonds between generations.
