With this novel, I started with a basic idea - a friendship between two girls modeled on my own relationship with the daughter of a servant who worked for us in Mumbai. I started writing from their birth in different caste systems (in a village vs. a city) and I wrote detailed scenes with them growing up and retaining their friendship for three decades. The characters took me to where the story is now. I wrote more than 300 pages just to get to know my characters. Once I knew my characters well enough, and knew the story I wanted to tell, I got rid of more than half the writing, and reworked through many drafts to start the novel at critical points in each character’s life.
As far as possible, I like to keep my characters very human because we all struggle with complex emotions at some point in our lives which often influences the path we take...(less)
Amita Trasi Thank you, Moira! Good to hear from you. I'm glad you're liking this book! Human slavery is one of the unfortunate things happening in the world today…m´Ç°ù±ðThank you, Moira! Good to hear from you. I'm glad you're liking this book! Human slavery is one of the unfortunate things happening in the world today. I haven't read 'The Blue Notebook' but it has piqued my interest now that you mention it. I am going to add it to my TBR list. About my next book, I'm still working on it. The idea is in a nascent stage and feels like a large pile of clay I have to sculpt through in order to give it life. :-) Thank you for reaching out!(less)
