Book-A-Table presents Feast'47: Independence by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni

Priya, Deepa, and Jamini didn't choose the year they were born into - but they did choose who they'd become. Partition split a country down its middle; it also split a family down every fault line that mattered.

This August, we're setting the table for Independence by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni - a book about three sisters navigating love, loss, and patriotism against the backdrop of a newly-free India that isn't quite sure what freedom means yet. It's about the ache of choosing a life when every choice costs someone else something.

Expect a menu inspired by Bengal - the kind of food that carries memory in it, dishes that taste like a home some of these characters never got to return to. Comfort food with history in every bite, paired with drinks that nod to an India caught between old certainties and new possibilities.

Come with your questions about what independence actually costs. Come ready to talk about sisters, borders, and the meals that outlast both.
