Zen

In 1935, Zainab Essaji wants to be part of the independence movement. But it seems that all she is destined to do is embroider and wait to get married.

In 2019, Zainab Currimji, a Grade XI student, is unhappy at getting drawn into debates and controversies which she would rather not be part of. But in the India of 2019, how can one not be drawn into these?
In this deeply addictive, sweeping book about the life and times of the two Zainabs, is captured a short history of Mumbai, and of India. Of what we were and what we have become.
