KARMA by Cathy Ostlere
Maya never wanted to go to India. She wanted a best friend, a boyfriend, and a mother who was not prone to bouts of depression. Instead, she is on a plane from Canada, to Delhi, carrying the ashes of her mother who has committed suicide. It’s October 31, 1984. Only hours after Maya arrives in Delhi with Amar Singh, her father, Indira Gandhi is assassinated. With riots breaking out in the city, Amar disappears and Maya escapes to a desert town. She finds a friend in Sandeep who is her only anchor in the aftermath of violence. The story of a girl caught between two worlds and a country on the verge of anarchy.
