Daisies In The Wild

by Stuti Agarwal

English 176 pages 1 edition

As Inayat finds herself staring at the iron gates of St Mary’s for the final time, she feels the once familiar sense of displacement and loneliness wash over her. But she would change nothing about the last five months, not even in her more earnest prayers. Standing on the other side of the gates, Pema wishes she could do everything to take it all back, to find the friend she had desperately wanted in Inayat again-even if it meant having Nidra be a part of them. And as for Nidra… well, she was out even before she left. Disgust and resentment is all she has now. Not love, never love again. Set in the midst of a rioting Darjeeling, Daisies in the Wild propels Inayat, Pema and Nidra from the confines of their own lives into each other’s stories, towards friendship, love and the dream of summers, tomorrow and tomorrow. They’ll soon discover more about themselves and their worlds than they ever thought possible. A gentle and sensitive portrayal of coming-of-age friendship, faith, love, and conflict, both around us and within. There could not be a better time for this story. A must read for parents and teenagers alike.” –Aniruddha Roy Chowdhary, National Award-Winning Film Director “This book beautifully captures the unfiltered chaos of adolescence–the longing for belonging, the quiet rebellions, and the friendships that shape us. It’s raw, honest, and deeply relatable.” –Masoom Minawala, Global fashion Influencer, Entrepreneur and Author “
