Oonagh's story takes us on a vivid journey through her post-colonial childhood in India, full of color, vitality, and unforgettable memories. However, as she leaves her birth country in 1962 to move to England with her family, Oonagh's cherished childhood recollections take on a surreal quality. Determined to rediscover her roots and emotional identity, she embarks on a poignant quest.

Through her Ayah Ruth's captivating stories, she experiences the intoxicating fragrance of jasmine on the day of Rinqu's marriage, and the deep bonds of love and loyalty that define family life in India. With rich detail and compelling prose, Oonagh's tale takes readers on a breathtaking journey of self-discovery and a celebration of the cultural richness of India.
