“At Lit-Mart, which was for unpublished authors, we were asked to submit a 300-word synopsis.” Twenty-five writers were selected, and Kanchana made the final cut. As for how the idea for the book came to her, Kanchana says: “I believe the story chooses the writer. “What does Sagarika forget and what does she remember? After the terror attacks, Sagarika isn’t pliant. It is about managing yourself.”The book does not glorify extra marital affairs.
