  In a government school classroom in Delhi, young Indira Thapa is set an unusualassignment by her favourite teacher: to write an essay around her name. Who wasIndira Priyadarshini, the person after whom her grandfather named her? And whyher? What is her legacy as India`s first - and only - woman prime minister?

Over the course of a long, hot summer and a curious friendship with an artist whois working on a biography of Mrs Gandhi, young Indira gets tangled up in thelife and times of her memorable namesake. Sometimes by design and sometimesby accident, story after story comes alive - about a childhood spent in Allahabadgrowing the Vanar Sena, of a youthful romance with the charming Feroze Gandhi,of stints in jail and elephant rides through pouring rain, a magnificent audacity thatcatapulted India onto the international stage, and of the final, tragic end that rippedapart the fabric of the nation.

Real and imagined worlds, the past and the present, text and image all entwine as Indira walks us through the most formative decades in the political life of India.
