520    "In the wake of a battle between two long-forgotten 
       kingdoms in 14th-century southern India, a nine-year-old 
       girl has a divine encounter that will change the course of
       history. After witnessing the death of her mother, the 
       grief-stricken Pampa Kampana becomes a vessel for the 
       goddess Parvati, who begins to speak out of the girl's 
       mouth. Granting her powers beyond Pampa Kampana's 
       comprehension, the goddess tells her that she will be 
       instrumental in the rise of a great city called Bisnaga - 
       the wonder of the world. Over the next 250 years, Pampa 
       Kampana's life becomes deeply interwoven with Bisnaga's, 
       from its literal sowing out of a bag of magic seeds to its
       tragic ruination. Whispering Bisnaga and its citizens into
       existence, Pampa Kampana attempts to make good on the task
       that Parvati set for her - to give women equal agency in a
       patriarchal world. But all stories have a way of getting 
       away from their creator. As years pass, the very fabric of
       Bisnaga becomes an ever more complex tapestry - with Pampa
       Kampana at its centre" --|cPage [4] of cover.
