Description
How does a major news event affect an individual? In A Breath of Fresh Air, Amulya Malladi, the bestselling author of A House for Happy Mothers, explores the impact of the Bhopal gas leak incident, considered the world's worst industrial disaster on one woman, Anjali.Trapped in a train station the night of December 3, 1984 as she waits for her husband to pick her up, Anjali manages to survive the night that hundreds didn't. Anjali's marriage, however, isn't able to survive the aftermath. A smart, successful schoolteacher, Anjali is now remarried to Sandeep, a loving and stable professor. Their lives would be nearly perfect, if not for their young son's declining health. But when Anjali's first husband suddenly reappears in her life, she is thrown back to the troubling days of their marriage with a force that impacts everyone around her.Rich in insight into Indian culture and psychology, A Breath of Fresh Air resonates with meaning and the abiding power of love.
