A powerful feminist novel of the aftermath of the Partition by a
legend of Hindi literature Delhi, 1947. The city surges with
Partition refugees. Eager to escape the welter of pain and
confusion that surrounds her, young Krishna applies on a whim to a
position at a preschool in the princely state of Sirohi, itself on
the cusp of transitioning into the republic of India. She is
greeted on arrival with condescension for her refugee status, and
treated with sexist disdain by Zutshi Sahib, the man charged with
hiring for the position. Undaunted, Krishna fights back. But when
an opportunity to become governess to the child maharaja Tej Singh
Bahadur presents itself—and with it a chance to make Sirohi her
new home once and for all—there is no telling how long this idyll
will last. Part novel, part memoir, part feminist anthem, A Gujarat
Here, A Gujarat There is not only a powerful tale of Partition loss
and dislocation but also charts the odyssey of a spirited young
woman determined to build a new identity for herself on her own
terms.
