This book relates to the era of India in which East Indian company was set where the innocent lives left everything due to wipe out in the partition. As we move back in time, we also move back to realize the hardships that people have faced. The protagonist of the book is Damyanti, her life was portrayed since her childhood until she becomes old at the age of 82. The traumas faced by her were depicted in the plot. The inequality between humans and their religions were briefed. The heartbreaking moments took place in her life. The narration takes us to that period, and it makes us look at the perturbations that the people have encountered, however, after struggling in their lives, they have overwhelmed those circumstances to attain tranquility.

• The story was not dragging rather the right amount of precise information was confined in the flipping pages that felt more intriguing towards the writing style of the author.
