Set in modern India, it is the story of two compelling and achingly real women; Sera Dubash, an upper-middle-class Parsi housewife whose opulent surroundings hides the shame and disappointment of her abusive marriage, and Bhima, a stoic illiterate hardened by a life of despair and loss, who has worked in the Dubash household for more then 20 years.

Read this book years ago and loved it, very moving and provocative.
