They feel out of place--they are adrift, the stranger in the crowd. It's as if they are forever walking around in shoes that don't fit. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCan they find a home, imperfect as it may be? Sometimes, all it takes is a place at the other end of the world--or a person. Nita, a teacher in Kerala, is desperate for a better-paying job and accepts one in Dubai. It is the 1990s, and Dubai is just becoming a boom town. Everything is changing. But Nita struggles to adjust to the city as an immigrant. Her job as a live-in tutor for a young girl puts her in an unfamiliar, servile role with a wealthy family. Nita starts telling the child's mother a story from ancient India, where Darius, a sailor, arrives at an Indian port seeking his fortune. As she tells this tale, making it up as she goes, she finds that she's no longer alone. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis is a two-headed story--the narrators Nita and Darius are nested inside each other like Russian dolls. They are both outsiders in unfamiliar places. They make dangerous choices that take them to the breaking point. And as Nita feels her safety unravel, it does for Darius as well.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDevi Yesodharan has been an itinerant all her life, living in various cities across the Middle East and India before settling in Bangalore, her favourite place.
