Thirteen-year-old Buchia is quick-witted and pleasant-looking, but in the competitive marriage mart of Bihar, her family needs to be resourceful and wily to find the right groom to uphold their pride. When a match is made with C.C. Mishra, English educated and recently graduated from Banaras Hindu University, everyone believes that a happy ending is near. But unknown to them, the groom dreams of a partner who writes poetry and plays tennis; is more-or-less a carbon copy of the film star Devika Rani.

Jha, Harimohan: - Harimohan Jha (1908-1984) was born in the Kumar Bajitpur village of Vaishali district, Bihar. He studied English literature and philosophy at Patna University and taught philosophy there. He was a novelist, poet, satirist, critic and, above all, a lifelong crusader against obscurantism and oppressive social practices. Celebrated as the 'Vidyapati of modern Maithili prose', he won the Sahitya Akademi award posthumously for his 1984 autobiography Jeevan Yatra (The Journey of My Life).

Kumar, Lalit: - Lalit Kumar teaches English at Deen Dayal Upadhyaya College, University of Delhi. He has co-translated the Hindi bestseller Twelfth Fail (HarperCollins, 2021) into English and is currently co-editing a book on Amaranatha Jha for the Sahitya Akademi. He holds a doctorate in Maithili literary culture and the coming of print in Mithila from the department of English, University of Delhi. His articles have appeared in many national dailies, including The Hindu, The Times of India and Jansatta.
