A talented painter drawn to the city's dynamic new modern art movement, Jaya is driven by her desire to express both the pain and extraordinary force of life of a nation rising from the devastation of British rule. Her twin sister, Kamlesh, a passionate student of Bharata Natyam dance, complies with her father's decision that she become a schoolteacher while secretly pursuing forbidden dreams of dancing on stage and in the movies. When Jaya moves out of her family home to live with a woman mentor, she suffers grievous consequences as a rare woman in the men's domain of art. Not only does her departure from home threaten her family's standing and crush her reputation, Jaya loses a vital connection to Kamlesh. 650 0 $a Women painters $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Twin sisters $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Women $z India $x Social conditions $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Mumbai (India) $x History $y 20th century $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 941 $a 1 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20240502012320.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DCAD214C084B11EFBCAD05DA2DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
