The story is seen through the eyes of Annie, a child of eight growing up in Kokkanchira, a settlement of people society barely acknowledges. Through her, three generations of this subaltern community find a voice, told from a feminist perspective. Their existence is shaped by displacement: the places where they live and the work they live on are taken from them in the name of urbanisation, development and change.
