From the author of the Costa Award-winning Asha & the Spirit Bird comes a breathtaking journey across India ...
Tamarind never knew her Indian mum, Chinty, who died soon after she was born. So when she arrives at her ancestral home, a huge mansion in the Himalayas surrounded by luxuriant gardens, she's full of questions for her extended family.

Slowly, Tamarind unravels a mystery at the heart of who she is ...
