It is the summer of 2004. But over five decades of independence, and a decade of economic liberalization does not mean much to the cotton farmers of Vidharbh in India, which has witnessed a spate of farmer suicides that continue to rise with every passing day. Yet; Ramwadi, a village in Vidhrabh, reeling in the clutches of a despotic headman and greedy moneylender, has ducked the trend. Then a jeep arrives in Ramwadi, carrying GM cottonseeds, which transform the simple lives of a few families in Ramwadi. Vasu, a small indebted farmer dreams of living a life of dignity, and chooses to drill a tube well to tap water for his six acres of dry land. The journey of his dream, through a series of ironic circumstances affects many people, encompassing their conflicts, which transcend the boundaries of Ramwadi, leading to Capitol Hill in Washington, the forests of Siberia and jungles of Gadchiroli. At the same time, it raises many profound and disturbing questions about democracy, agrarian policies, Kyoto Protocol and the environment, International politics, tiger conservation and human-animal conflicts, tribal unrest and revolutionary movements. Ironically, to live his small dream, Vasu and his family must survive these complex glocal conflicts.
There is a floating island in the sea where no explorer has set foot, or, setting foot, has returned to tell of what he saw. Lying at our very doors, in the direct path of every steamer from the Gulf of Mexico to Europe, it is less known than is the frozen pole. Encyclopedias pass over it lightly; atlases dismiss it with but a slight mention; maps do not attempt to portray its ever-shifting outlines; even the Sunday newspapers, so keen to grasp everything of interest, ignore it. But on the decks of great ships in the long watches of the night, when the trade-wind snores through the rigging and the waves purr about the bows, the sailor tells strange tales of the spot where ruined ships, raked derelict from all the square miles of ocean, form a great island, ever changing, ever wasting, yet ever lasting; where, in the ballroom of the Atlantic, draped round with encircling weed, they drone away their lives, balancing slowly in a mighty tourbillion to the rhythm of the Gulf Stream. Fanciful? Sailors tales? Stories fit only for the marines? Perhaps! Yet be not too sure! Jack Tar, slow of speech, fearful of ridicule, knows more of the sea than he will tell to the newspapers. Perhaps more than one has drifted to the isle of dead ships, and escaped only to be disbelieved in the maelstroms that await him in all the seaports of the world. Facts are facts, none the less because passed on only by word of mouth, and this tale, based on matter gleaned beneath the tropic stars, may be truer than men are wont to think. Remember Longfellow's words: "Wouldst thou," thus the steersman answered, "Learn the secret of the sea? Only those that brave its dangers Comprehend its mystery."
1940's India. During this volatile and transitional time in the country's fight for independence, Layla is astrologically doomed never to marry. Manik's career and arranged marriage were charted for success. But by cleverly manipulating the hand fortune has dealt her, Layla has found love with Manik.

Fascinated by this culture of whiskey-soaked expats who seem fazed by neither earthquakes nor man-eating leopards, she struggles to find her place among the prickly English wives with whom she is expected to socialize, and the peculiar servants she now finds under her charge.
