Beyond Our Births by Antara Mukherjee [Paperback]

Beyond Our Births follows Nimki, a girl abandoned near the India–Bangladesh border at five and taken in by a Kolkata family as a domestic helper. Growing up without genuine acceptance, she struggles with displacement, class, identity and her longing for familial love and belonging. Spanning nearly a decade, this literary coming-of-age novel explores migration, womanhood, resilience and the search for a place to call home.
