Fifteen-year-old Vidya dreams of going to college� an unusual aspiration for a girl living in Britishoccupied India during World War II. Then tragedy strikes, and Vidya and her brother are forced to move into a traditional household with their extended family, where women are meant to be married, not educated. Breaking the rules, Vidya finds refuge in her grandfather�s library. But then her brother does something unthinkable, and Vidya�s life becomes a whirlwind of political and personal complications. The question is, will she be strong enough to survive?
