Mangoes for Monkeys

Spanning eight decades, Mangoes for Monkeys tells the story of its protagonist Suchitra and her promise to the monkeys in her sylvan childhood home. From pre-independence India to the year 2000, Mangoes for Monkeys catalogues Suchitra’s life journey as a woman, mother, wife, artist and photographer. Weaving a tapestry of emotions and relationships, Radhika Vyas Sharma, keeps the focus on Suchitra and her metamorphosis from an unsure teenager to a wise woman of the world. Additionally, whether Suchitra’s monkeys will get to feast on mangoes in the thick of winter makes for a surprise and nail-biting finish.
