Summary
At the turn of the 20th century, teenaged Pirbhai is taken from his village in India to labor on the East African Railway for the British. One day he commits an act to ensure his survival that will haunt him forever, and reverberate across his family's future for years to come. Pirbhai's children are born and raised under the jacaranda trees and searing sun of Kampala during the waning days of British colonial rule. As Uganda moves towards independence and military dictatorship, Pirbhai's granddaughters, Latika, Mayuri, and Kiya, are three sisters coming of age in a divided nation. As they each forge their own path for a future, they must carry the silence of the history they've inherited
