Bhima is poor and illiterate. Her husband and son left her. Her daughter and son-in-law have died of AIDS. Only her granddaughter Maya remains and Bhima's goal is to put Maya through college so she can have a better life. Bhima befriends Parvati, a widow in even more dire straights. Together they start a business and face the changes that are overtaking Mumbai. This is a wonderful story of strength, friendship and resilience. The audio book is perfectly done by Sneha Mathon who conveys a sense of place and class differences through her excellent reading.
