Synopsis
An ancient axe seeks out a young girl when unbeknownst to her, her Christian foster father sets in motion plans for her future in a bid to secure his land. Her guide and her friend are an elderly Lebanese Muslim spice merchant who has made the foothills of the Western Ghats his home, and his young grandson, Arslan. Her hitherto heavy and exploited life brightens up for Ila when a person from her past enters her life. The story weaves back and forth in time and between Ila and the key influences in her life. Will she discover her past and her true identity.
The key plot covered is child marriage and our relationship with the land. Borrowing from ancient myths of India and the Biblical world and set in an unidentified time, the novella covers themes of patriarchy, our search for who we are, understanding the meaning of time and home and immortality and finding courage. 'The Blue Mountains' is meant to be a beacon of hope for someone, somewhere in a lonely corner of the world.
