But it was really important for me that I showed their relationship as being one that is, at least to begin with, full of affection and love and then how that comes under so much strain as the drivers of the story kind of kick in.
Well, I think she has been.
This is really domineering, almost cruel in some ways, mother-in-law Mai.
But I think it's clear in the novel that she has also been the victim of a brutally patriarchal society.
There's hints towards what she's suffered under when she was a new bride as well.
And the idea that she's kind of internalised this misogyny, that she's
been the victim of and is now perpetrating that out onto her three daughters-in-law.
So I think she's also become victim and perpetrator both.
She's a really strong character, yeah.
Yeah, right, because we don't actually know how things kind of really ended.
What happened to Suraj, who was one of the brothers and who has that relationship with Maranatha?
For me, that all comes down to this question of authorship.

This is the 1929 strand of sort of being narrated by the 1999, you know, the great grandson of Meher.
He does insert himself into that historical strand in just one sentence, which is easy to miss towards the end of the story.
Yes, exactly.
And he talks about his daughter.
And then he also says at one point when he's discussing what happens to Meher and says, yeah, they have a son who goes on to have a daughter.
He goes on to have me.
