The color of our sky : a novel / Amita Trasi.

Trasi, Amita, (author.).

Summary:

India, 1986: Mukta, a ten-year-old village girl, is sent to be a house girl for an upper-middle class family in Mumbai. There she befriends the daughter of the family, Tara. One night in 1993, Mukta is kidnapped and disappears. Shortly thereafter, Tara and her father move to America. Tara never recovers from the loss of her best friend, or stops wondering if she was somehow responsible for Mukta's abduction. Moving from a traditional Indian village to the bustling modern metropolis of Mumbai, to Los Angeles and back again, this is a heartbreaking and beautiful portrait of an unlikely friendship--a story of love, betrayal, and, ultimately, redemption.
