Following the death of her grandfather, Maria has stopped speaking not because she cant, but because she doesnt want to. Now in a psychiatric hospital, as she begins the process of reconnecting with reality, Maria recalls her journey of being just Maria a girl born into a Syrian Christian family in Kerala, whose companions were a grandfather who took her along to wander around the village and its toddy shops, a greataunt with dementia who challenged Marias position as the youngest in the family, a dog with a penchant for philosophy, various longdead family members including a greatgrandmother with a knack for prophecies, a patron saint who insisted on interfering in peoples affairs, and Karthav Eesho Mishiha with whom Maria has regular conversations.
