Description: In the summer of 2000, Alyra and Rahul meet at a party and there after often have sex with no strings attached. She is naïve and a trifle self-absorbed while he is charming but a mama’s boy. Alyra, finds she is pregnant, an abortion is out of the question and they are forced to get married. Flash forward, they have been married for twenty-three years and have a daughter, Ahana. In a fast paced and changing India where success, beauty and youth are the bedrock on which society moves, Alyra realises the stifling boredom is drowning her and life is slipping away. When she is hit on by a charismatic stranger in a bar, she finds herself questioning everything about her life. She is not looking for an affair or to meet another man. It is that intense awareness of being alive, that momentary spark that fuels a part of her that had been lying dormant. What should she do? Does she have a chance of finding happiness again? How can she ensure her survival? A Light through the Cracks is a vivid evocation of arranged marriages, self-awakening and standing up for one’s self. It paints a picture of the daily drudgery of unhappy and mind numbing relationships in excruciating minutiae. The book opens at the lawyer’s office and works backwards with flashbacks.
