Set in the state of Orissa, the novel depicts the life of the Guru family, especially their daughter, Asha.

When Asha goes to college, she meets Anand and falls in love with him. Much against the wishes of her family, she marries hima decision that proves to be disastrous, triggering a series of events that nearly destroys her. We are led through a tragic but redemptive story as Asha, shaped by her unfailing pursuit of love, truth and justice, responds to her unexpected reversal in fortune by seeking a world elsewhere. Exploring notions of love and betrayal, innocence and experience, the choices people make and the role luck plays in life, A World Elsewhere is timeless.
