N2  - A Hindu widow in 1938 could throw herself on her husband's
       funeral pyre, marry her husband's younger brother or live 
       in poverty and self-denial from then on. When eight-year-
       old Chuyia is widowed, she is sent to a home in the Holy 
       City of Varanasi where Hindu widows live in penitence. Her
       feisty presence affects the other residents, forcing each 
       to confront their faith and society's prejudices, 
       especially a young woman who has fallen in love with a 
       follower of Gandhi
