In a world where caste is all-important, a scavenger's daughter is supposed to follow in her parents' footsteps. But when she earns admission to a revolutionary school where lower- and upper-caste children mix, she chooses the name Sujata―"born of good lineage"―and
determines to take control of her own fate. Sujata soon rises in the world, aided by intelligence, hard work, educators who believe in her―and a few necessary lies about her background. When she falls in love and marries a wealthy classmate; her life seems charmed . . . until revelations about her past threatens to destroy it all.

� propos de l'auteur

I am the former bureau chief of The Times of India, a journalist with over thirty years experience covering the nation's top politicians as well as writing about the hopes and aspirations of ordinary people. My novel seeks to shine a light on caste prejudice, an important issue rooted in Indian culture, and one that also resonates across all cultures where people struggle with prejudices of race, status, and class. A SCAVENGER'S DAUGHTER is very much an Indian story―and very much a human story.
