Brief Summary The Direction of the Wind by Mansi Shah

The Indian mother and daughter in this novel defy expectations. The wind that blows each in unexpected directions favors the one who understands who she is and whose resilience allows her to tack successfully.Nita is the mother who feels hidebound and unable to live within Indian constrictions even though she has wealth, a loving husband and a young daughter aching to be with her and to be like her.But even sheltered from so many of life’s harsher realities, Nita does not feel suited to the life she is living and is even unsure whether she truly loves the husband and daughter whose needs take so much of her.She has dreamt so long of pursuing art in Paris that over time she sets aside enough money for her escape and one day abruptly leaves, an act totally outside the expectations for a married Indian woman.Nita’s husband makes extraordinary efforts to find Nita and bring her back, but when he fails, he tells his daughter Sophie that Nita has died. Sophie spends the next 22 years believing this to be true.
