Breaking free

A many-layered story, the book speaks of women who are beautiful and strong- who handle the drama in life, in the best way they can. Of women from different generations and how they come to grips with a rapidly changing life and society. Butterflies and Barbed wires speaks of the conflicts of butterflies caught in barbed wires- of women who are strangers in their own homes. A tale of two women-mother and daughter, who were separated during the '78 riots in Hyderabad. Of Maya, who moves back to Hyderabad from Bangalore, the city she has grown up in, and of her mother Shehzaadi, who struggles to deal with old memories and the loss of her entire world. Varsha, Maya's best friend, attempts to tackle a separation from her husband, while Amita and Zeba, Shehzaadi's friends, struggle with their own past ghosts. Vanaja Banagiri is based in Hyderabad and this is her first novel.
