The Color Of Our Sky: A Novel

"Mukta, the daughter of a temple prostitute, and Tara, the daughter of an upper middle-class family, form an unlikely bond in Mumbai. But when Mukta is kidnapped, that bond is put into question, and years later Tara is tortured with regret as she searches for her friend. Amita Trasi’s personal, up-close telling of Mukta’s story exposes the harsh realities of prostitution in India. The friends’ narratives appear side-by-side, and as the book progresses it becomes more about the power of women’s relationships than the oppression of women in India."
