<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Netflix series coming in June 2019</b><br><b>Perfect for fans of <i>The Handmaid's Tale</i></b> <p/>Shalini will never forget her daughter Leila's third birthday party: it was the last time she saw her alive. <p/>Sixteen years have passed and Shalini's life is unrecognizable. Her husband gone: beaten and dragged from their home the night Leila disappeared. Shalini, once privileged, is now disgraced. She trawls the streets desperate to discover where Leila now lives - if she lives at all. <p/>In this repressive state, where tradition and purity are valued above all, those outside the city walls - forced to live in filth and oppressive heat - are less than nothing. But can Shalini find a way back in? Will she see Leila again?<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Prayaag Akbar</b> was born in Calcutta in 1982.
