Peacock in the snow : a novel

Mehta, Anubha (author.). Canadian Electronic Library (Firm), (distributor.).

Summary: "Born to privilege and wed to her high school sweetheart Veer, a free spirited Maya feels trapped in a conventional upper class family with patriarchal expectations in India. Claustrophobic within the dark walls of the mansion she lives in with her spouse, Maya starts living precariously through the threads of her curiosity. This curiosity leads Maya to unearth a dark family secret and a brutal ancestral murder. Her shocking discovery of a remarkable resemblance to the murdered woman, Veer's grandmother Gayatri, and the realization that Veer shares the same behavioural traits as the murderer, plunge her into a downward spiral of doubt. With the help of her protective elderly governess Sheila, who was also Gayatri's housemaid, Maya begins to understand the possibility that Gayatri's spirit lingers on the edges of their world to take revenge and draw a wedge between her and Veer. But Maya is not defeated, owing to her conviction that her love is stronger than the curses of the spirits. Peacock in the Snow is a one-of-a kind romantic thriller about the power of an eternal love, which survives through three generations of heartbreak and speaks to the tireless capacity of the human spirit to love, hope, strive, and succeed despite impossible obstacles."--
