The Story of India: Fruits of Tomorrow (The Banyan Trilogy, Book 3) (The Story of India: The Banyan Trilogy)

Delhi, 2060. Rohan Malhotra is fifty-seven, and the last keeper of a line of notebooks his family has filled one day at a time since 1950. From a quiet veranda above a changed city, he sets down the whole account at last: from the night the country's cash stopped, to a tomorrow none of them will live to see.The years rush past him. A city sealed and silent. A family scattered across continents. Two young women who both become writers and fall out over what a family is allowed to say in public. A piece of ground fought over for thirty years. And a banyan, planted in 1951, that lives long enough to turn a hundred.This is the story of India's tomorrow, told by the one person left to ask what was worth writing down, and who is left to read it.Fruits of Tomorrow is the final volume of The Banyan Trilogy, the saga of one Punjabi family across more than a century of Indian life. It can be read on its own, or as the close of a story that began with Seeds of Freedom and Branches of Transition. Read more
