The year is 1857 in the sprightly seaside town of Calicut. Four have been chosen by supernaturals of the past. They battle the East India Company’s ambitious railways, for hidden beneath the plains of Northern India is a relic so sacred, it has been guarded fiercely over millennia. Polio cannot dampen Sarah’s spirit, skin colour makes no difference to Charlotte, Chandran is an unflinching patriot and Colin will be redeemed by a second chance. River, Laughter, Moon & C, where time surrenders to friendship and courage……

This book is a journal of the life of two sisters. It is a riveting tale of the sisters on a roller-coaster ride of love, betrayal, selfishness, crime, and finally, redemption. Rimana, a simple girl in her early teens, prays with all her might that the little life growing in her mother’s womb be a girl. And her prayers are heard, as she is blessed with a baby sister, Shahana. Shahana grows up to be nothing less than a princess in a dreamland, a diva, all young and graceful, and oh-so-beautiful. Shahana is the beauty and Rimana is the belle. But fate would not stop meddling, and life takes a turn when soon the daily squabbles, quarrels and tantrums take them where they could not have imagined reaching, even in their worst dreams. Then a day comes when it seems that their world has turned upside down and that everything has come toppling down at them, because now they have to bear the searing pain of separation. Through it all, will this deep bond of sisterhood fade over the years, or is it dissolved in their blood so much so that it will remain intact on till doomsday, and the two sisters will stand, hand-in-hand, till the end of eternity?
