The story begins on the Konkan coast in the nineteenth century,
when Bathseba, a woman of great moral courage, steers her family
through the odds in the absence of her husband. The family
distinguishes itself when her great-grandson David earns renown as
a doctor in Ahmedabad. Displaying a remarkably different kind of
empathy, his exuberant son Joshua raises lions, panthers and
crocodiles as pets, and later founds a zoo. Things come full circle
when Joshua's daughter Esther embarks on a journey to Israel in
search of her roots, amidst the confusion of a failed marriage and
the turmoil in her place of birth, Ahmedabad. Seamlessly blending
storytelling, history and memoir, Book of Esther shines fresh light
on the Jewish experience in India and becomes an affecting tale
about love, home and belonging.
