A STIRRING, UNFILTERED PORTRAIT OF RESILIENCE, SURVIVAL, AND THE UNTOLD HUMAN SPIRIT.

Karno’s Daughter is the intimate biography of "Buttermilk," a remarkable woman who has served as a domestic help in Kolkata for decades. But she is so much more than that: she is a rice farmer, a storyteller, a survivor, and a woman whose life is as expansive as the landscape she navigates between the city, the village, and the suburbs.

Spanning five decades, Rimli Sengupta weaves together the threads of Buttermilk’s existence—from family betrayals and devastation to moments of unexpected joy and profound love. It is a story of grit and creativity, following a woman who manages to handle the brutal pressures of life without losing her humanity or her spirit. Through wit and raw courage, Buttermilk performs an "uproarious trapeze act" across the social and economic divides of modern India, forever keeping her antenna tuned to the land. This book is a poignant, necessary tribute to a life lived on the margins, told with immense empathy and grace.
