You see her beauty
But she aches of pain
You know of her innocence
But she's been blamed and betrayed
Tamed to depression
And cursed for their wicked ways
It's all staged
Ventriloquist to a puppet
Word-play on a story's page
Arrangements of her thoughts are unclear
Voices in the head, she still hears
It's been years
Damn . Tears of a clown

-Excerpt from Facade

-Excerpt from Facade

This is the first book written by a Jewish woman from the Indian community of Cochin. Filled with rich descriptions of Jewish life in an exotic culture spanning several centuries, this work is both the story of the Jews of Cochin, India-and the tale of one remarkable woman.
