Intersections: A Novel

By Poornima Manco

A bond forged in childhood. A devastating betrayal. Can confronting the past expiate the damage?

Pari’s loneliness dissipates the day Samira enters her life. As eight-year-old schoolgirls, they become inseparable friends, their group expanding as time goes on. A motley gang of four, the girls believe they are invincible, convinced that their lives will always remain intertwined.

A series of catastrophic events change the trajectory of their lives forever. At the heart of it is a betrayal, perpetrated by someone they had trusted.

Two decades later, they are face-to-face again. Can they forgive and move on? Or will one person’s secret vendetta destroy them all?

Emotionally layered and richly imagined, Intersections raises profound questions about love, loss, forgiveness, and the deeply complex nature of female friendships.
