Opis

Beguiled by promises of wealth, 14 year-old Lakshmi leaves her native Ceylon for Malaya and marriage to a man many years her senior. But Ayah has lied to her and her family about his circumstances and in fact he lives in poverty. Lakshmi provides security, if not luxury, for her family, though at a considerable emotional cost.
