  • "Leela a été fiancée à deux ans, mariée à neuf. À treize ans elle s'apprête à s'installer dans sa belle-famille quand son mari, mordu par un serpent venimeux, meurt de ses blessures. Dans l'Inde des années 1920, il y a pire que d'être un intouchable. C'est être une veuve. Leela va devenir une morte vivante. Rester cloîtrée pendant un an. Ôter tous ses bijoux, se raser la tête et ne plus porter qu'un sari spécial couleur de boue. Elle ne devra jamais se remarier. Partout où elle passera, elle portera malheur. Elle est au désespoir. Heureusement, Leela peut compter sur quelques alliés : Kanubhai, son frère aîné, qui a promis de revenir l'aider ; Saviben, sa directrice d'école, qui est décidée à lui donner des cours à domicile. Ainsi que Gandhiji, un drôle de bonhomme qui prend fait et cause pour les paysans, les tisserands et tous les opprimés. D'ailleurs, celui-ci commence à bousculer les traditions et les consciences dans tout le pays."
