About the Book

Lily and Nur have been lifelong friends for more than 60 years. Lily of Indian Rajput lineage and Nur, short for Nora, her British friend. This epistolary novel, set in 1985 between Calcutta and Kanya Kumari, expresses all the happy reminiscences of that life, but also the shadows cast by dark events that take them through the murder of their friend, the close of the British Raj and the turmoil and suffering that evolves into a bloodbath both physically and metaphorically that never quite leaves them and which must be dealt with as they plan a bittersweet reunion in Calcutta to remember deceased loved ones in an old cemetery and a visit to honor the victims of the Jallianwala Bagh Massacre of Amritsar of 1919 that shook both of them when they were both 19 of that year. These are the themes that run through their letters as well as the dream reunion where they will once again get to celebrate the memory of their now deceased husbands, both Knights of the British Empire. Dare they reveal their true feelings about Mahatma Gandhi? A bonus section includes an interactive guide to the hit PBS Series Indian Summers created by the authors for their readers.
About the Author: Khadi Madama has authored eight books in multi genres, everything from teen self-help based on Yoga adventures, young adult adventure stories, adult self help based on the classic movie Lost Horizon, as well as self care manuals for those in boxing and MMA and stress management for caregivers, British mysteries, a martial arts game for children and others. She has also produced, directed and starred as host in two television series and has a cameo in the 2012 movie Red Tent: Things We Don't Talk About. Involvement in all things India since the late 1960's and being considered both an expert and unofficial "Indian", Khadi was given the Jewel of India Award in 2009 for more than 40 years of service to the Indian community at large. She was to date, the only non-Indian to receive such an award from an affiliate governmental organization in New Delhi. Bela Banerjee is the author of more than 8 books specializing in two genres; Indian Cooking and in the spiritual motivation genre, several books on Miracles. Bela has also enjoyed being a Set and Costume Design Consultant for India theme productions in both theatre and film, and having been featured in a cable access show on Indian fashion and cooking in the late 1990's. Over Cups of Tea is their Opus collaboration.
