Binding: Paper
Set in the mountainous tea plantations of Darjeeling, India
and in New York City, Darjeeling is the story of two sisters -
Aloka and Sujata - long separated by their love for Pranab, an
idealistic young revolutionary. Pranab loves Sujata, the awkward,
prickly, younger sister but, out of obligation, marries Aloka,
the gracious, beautiful, older sister. When all of their secrets
are revealed, the three are forced to leave Darjeeling. Aloka and
Pranab flee to New York City and Sujata to Canada. The story
opens ten years later, when their Grandmother summons everyone
home to the family tea plantation to celebrate her birthday.
Despite the fact that Aloka is still very much in love with
Pranab, they are in the process of getting a divorce. Sujata, who
is still single, runs a successful business importing tea, a
business that doesn't fill her broken heart. This trip forces the
sisters to wrestle with their bitterness and anger and to try to
heal old wounds.
