Daisy Rockwell's English translation, titled Tomb of Sand , is celebrated for capturing the complex, playful, and multi-layered nature of Shree's Hindi.
The novel revolves around an 80-year-old woman named Ma. After the death of her husband, she falls into a deep depression, only to rise again with a renewed, rebellious zest for life. She leaves her home in Delhi to travel to Pakistan, confronting the traumatic legacy of the Partition of India.
