by Bhaichand Patel (Author)

Seema Choudhry and Madhu Gupta, one Muslim, the other a Hindu, are

the best of friends. Both live in Old Delhi, only a few dense, narrow lanes

apart, but in worlds that rarely meet. And yet, the worlds are very similar

in the demands they make of women, especially young women like Seema

and Madhu-they should settle down soon after puberty, married to men

of the same faith, caste and class, chosen by their elders. But in the early

years of the twenty-first century, change is creeping in. When the two girls

find employment in a factory in Noida, across the Yamuna, their worlds

expand-a little at first, and then radically. Their lives will be transformed in

unexpected ways by ambition and, in Seema's case, by the love of the other-

the son of her bigoted Hindu employer.

Written in effortless, clear-as-glass prose, Across the River is a hugely engaging

exploration of the tension between tradition and modernity, and an equally

sensitive examination of both the rigidity and the fragility of religious

prejudice.
