Synopsis:

Ru Freeman's debut novel tracks two girls as they grow into womanhood against the beautiful but repressive backdrop of Sri Lankan culture. Lutha Kamari is a low-caste orphan who becomes an unpaid servant to the rich and willful Thara Vithanages, a girl her own age. Finally, in an act of rebellion, Lutha woos away Thara's betrothed man, an act with great social repercussions. Meanwhile, another young woman flees her abusive husband with her three children in tow. The lives and tragedies of the two disenfranchised and disobedient women become dramatically interwoven in the novel's conclusion.
