The novel follows Maya, an adopted Bengali woman and journalist, as she investigates her past through a mysterious letter and inherited objects. Her search leads her to Burjor Elavia, whose life reflects the struggles and eccentricities of a diverse community. The story weaves together personal discovery, family history, and the changing social world of Bombay.
Pronoti Datta is a writer and former journalist who spent more than thirteen years covering culture and society in Bombay. Half-Blood is her debut novel, inspired by the city and its many-layered communities.
Maya, a 34-year-old journalist, feels disconnected from her life and searches for answers about her origins. A letter and a collection of inherited objects lead her to the story of Burjor Elavia, the son of a Parsi man and a tribal woman. As Maya uncovers his colourful and complicated past, she begins to explore her own identity and possible future. The novel combines family drama, humour, and reflections on belonging and social identity.
