Three sisters. One impossible choice. Tricked aboard a boat to East Africa, Pirbhai is only thirteen when he is forced by the British into labouring on the railway.
Under sweltering heat, hungry and frightened, he commits a terrible act just to survive. He will never tell a soul, even when he meets Sonal, a fierce, loving woman with whom he starts a family in Uganda, in hope of a better life.
But their granddaughters come of age in a divided nation. Finally forced to flee, the family scatters across the world.
They take with them a steel pot, a handful of photos, and a secret – that one day, will help them find each other again.
