Hukum Singh. Rejected in favour of a second wife, the beautiful and educated Hansa, she is consigned to the village home and falls prey to sexual assaults by Bachana, her brother-in-law. Propelled by her fight for survival in an unforgiving social milieu, Nimmo resorts to using the only tools at her disposal—feminine wiles and black magic. Inextricable from the tragic sweep of human exodus and violence of partition, Nimmo’s destiny throws her onto a roller coaster of unimaginable twists and turns.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThis nostalgic journey into undivided Punjab gives us intimate and vivid insights into the now-lost rural Punjabi culture and a disquieting peep into the lived identities and angst of women in a deeply patriarchal society. Conjuring up the era of the British Indian army, winding through cantonments, Malls and brass bands, it is a tale of love, loss and hope.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789388150101\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.6 x 4.9 x 0.6 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DSR Book Distributors","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51104751452464,"sku":"VarietyBook_9789388150101","price":262.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/715hTgpIAsL.jpg?v=1773458316","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/products\/dusk-over-the-mustard-fields","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
