About the Book: A Himalayan Love Story
Parvati is young, beautiful and seemingly doomed; blooming early yet unable to
find lasting love. Orphaned in adolescence and adopted by her headmaster uncle,
Parvati escapes the constraints of this temporary home but, like many young
women before her, finds a new prison in marriage. For, while there is passion to
be found in early encounters, she is soon married to someone she can never truly
be satisfied with. So when Mukul Nainwal, the local boy who has always loved
her, returns to Nainital, he finds Parvati changed—she is a new challenge to his
ideals, despite all his worldly success.
