Product Description

This is a biography of Buttermilk, a maid in Calcutta. Her ordinary life is extraordinarily richand largely invisible, in plain sight. It straddles the city, the village and the suburbs. Her life brims with stories of betrayal and devastation, but also with striking life hacks, unexpected aesthetics and love in unlikely places. This story is a weave of many threadsher family across multiple generations, her city work and her life as a rice farmer. We follow her across five decades as she forges a life in the city with creativity and grit, and one antenna permanently tuned to the land. We witness her tackle brutal pressure, and yet remain free of callus.With wit and spirit, Buttermilk lives an uproarious trapeze act, without a safety net from god or country. But for how long?
