In October 1984, Maya and her father are on a trip to New Delhi to return her mother's ashes after her death. On their first night, Indira Ghandi is assassinated and the city erupts in chaos, separating Maya and her dad. Maya is then pulled through the city by Sandeep, a guy she doesn't know but who ensures her survival in a city in turmoil.
This was a really beautiful story. The turmoil between Sikhs and Hindus in Maya's personal life mirrors similar conflicts in India. I also loved the idea of east/west love stories, and coming to terms with one's background.
