WHERE THE SECRET LIES
A mansion (Haveli). A sealed door. A spirit.
And a secret.
A secret only the spirit knows – and only nineteen-year-old Arianna can set free.
Arianna and her family travel to India from London, for a splendid wedding. Excitement soon turns secondary when strange happenings transpire within the Haveli walls. Hitherto, a sealed door opens and Arianna is given Anjali’s diary.
And so begins a paranormal experience that leaves her stunned. Arianna wants answers. Who is Anjali? Why did the door unseal for her? Is there something the spirit wants to show her?
What?
FREEDOM OF THE MONSOON
Personal struggle is the play in five people’s lives. From a village in 1947 India, five individuals struggle against the Quit India movement. Each has their own story to tell.
Rakesh, a brave freedom fighter, determined to make India a better place faces execution by the hands of the British Raj.
Pooja, a girl whose life is altered after a rape attack, marries into an abusive arranged marriage to an older man with children of his own. Plunged into despair, she fights back for a better life. Dev, a troubled young man is disturbed by the decision his brother Rakesh took. Little was he aware the impact it would have on his future.Amit fell in love with the wrong woman, a white Memsahib – but she has secrets, something that would take everything away from him. Sunil, a man in love is forced to grow up when his close ones are faced with their struggles. Can he help them? Will he understand why it is happening?Five lives, five stories. Death and sacrifice is knocking on India’s doors. The British Raj has to go; the Indians must have their country back. Re-live the determination that dwelled in the hearts of the natives as they fought hard and long. Follow the five individuals as they faced fear, love, sacrifice and anger.
Sounds like a great book.

Malika, My heartiest congrats to you for this superb addition to the novels on British raj. I’ve just started reading the book and I find it to be an excellent portrayal of the fiery revolution–the Quit India Movement–that is considered to be a precursor to the freedom of India in 1947. Bravo!
I intend to read this book, Malika. A very interesting backdrop.
It was a wonderful book. I loved it.
I’m definitely reading the book! You have a beautiful website. It really gives people a feel for the kind of person you want to be. If you’re Buddhist I know another Buddhist author you’d probably enjoy getting in touch with. Regards.
I am a Jain – Jainism, which is close to Bhuddists I think. :0) would be glad to meet him/her.
