Identical twins – Mukti and Lila are close yet different! Born two and a half minutes apart, they think and act in opposite ways. Mukti longs to move beyond the complex family structures, cocooned within the Indian customs while Lila is a dreamer. Their English friend Elizabeth has similar hopes of transcending traditional boundaries.

Personal tragedy, a burgeoning national movement for independence and sweeping social reforms propel both sisters into the world outside their narrow domestic walls. New relationships and a string of events challenge their loyalties while lives are uprooted as the world changes.

The sisters struggle to control their lives and loves as the sub-continent labours to give birth to a new nation. Nothing is permanent, yet everything is connected. Elizabeth joins them in their battles while fighting her own.

Set against the intriguing backdrop of India’s multifaceted society and travelling through nearly fifty years of history, the author challenges the reader to ask who is the rose and who is the thorn.

The Rose and the Thorn has been a riveting read… We are lucky to have a writer and thinker of Dr Ganguly’s calibre in Brisbane, one who is equally at ease in India as she is in Australia. Her breadth of vision, her understanding of what is good and desirable and of what is not so desirable in both cultures, her social conscience and her call to action to each and every one is apparent through the wonderful characters she has portrayed and brought to life in the book.Mrs Archana Singh, Honorary Consul of India

The Rose and The Thorn, by Indrani Ganguly, informs and educates as it entertains. A must read...Trudy Graham, author
