Great Britain: Virago Modern Classics, 1987. Sita was born in a small village in northern India in 1958., the youngest daughter of a large family. From an early age Sita knew that her parents would one day choose a husband for her , that this was what they worked and prayed for and what she herself depended on for status and security in adulthood. But that day came sooner than she expected , and at the age of fifteen Sita left India to travel alone to England , where she met Nirmal , her future husband , for the first time. The marriage was a terrible , tragic mistake. Nirmal beat her and abused her , and forbade her the freedom and financial independence which she yearned for in order to establish frienda and self-dignity in her new country.
