After her fathers death, her mother embarks upon a solo journey across India by train- because what is the use of a lifetime railway pass if she doesnt use it? The trip brings the past rushing back for Saroja and Kamini-as both are forced to confront their dreams, disappointments, and long-guarded secrets.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51738792788256,"sku":"NEW034546494X","price":16.61,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/81vr5LNItdL.jpg?v=1779612722","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/tamarind-woman-a-novel-ballantine-readers-circle-034546494x","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
