Sugar Mill Seasons

By Surbhi Bansal

A coming-of-age story about four sisters whose comforting yet rigid world revolves around their village and an officer's colony at a sugar mill. They enjoy gossiping about the officers' wives who have employed them as maids, celebrate religious festivals with whatever means they have, and desire to be like heroines in the latest movie posters. But only as long as they stay within the norms of society and become mature wives and mothers when it is time. When the most educated yet the most stubborn sister trails behind in grabbing the opportunities that allow them to move up in their perpetual society, does she regret her decisions? Does she just accept her fate, or try to change her destiny and threaten their sisterly bond?

Set in the 1990s in northern India where only drab tan-colored villages dot vast fields of sugarcane, this colorful narrative will take the readers on a journey filled with joy and despair of the sisters and the families associated with them.
