(3) YA In 1918 India, when twelve-year-old Leela's husband dies, she's forced to follow widows' mourning traditions of the brahman (highest) class, including a year of isolation, or "keeping corner." Gandhi's influence on Leela's family--and all of India--eventually allows her to pursue larger goals. The national struggle provides a powerful backdrop for Leela's own increasing social consciousness. Glos.
