What makes a dutiful daughter, wife, and mother? What makes a good
Indian woman?
Devi returns to Madras with an American degree, only to be sucked in by the old
order of things-a demanding mother's love, a suitable but hollow marriage, an
unsuitable lover who offers a brief escape. But the women of the hoary past
come back to claim Devi through myth and story, music and memory. They
show her what it is to stay and endure what it is to break free and move on. Sita
has been the ideal daughter-in-law, wife and mother. But now that she has
arranged a marriage for her daughter she has to come to terms with an old
dream of her own. Mayamma knows how to survive as the old family retainer,
bending the way the wind blows. But, through Devi, she too can see a different
life.
A subtle and tender tale..
