When Simran dies in 1989, Lekha, adrift and unfulfilled, travels to Berlin to settle her estranged aunt's affairs. Swept up in a city in flux, a brief, practical journey soon unravels as an excavation of memory, longing, and forces that shape lives across time and place.Spanning decades and continents, Light Across the Plains traces the inextricable links between three generations of a family as they push against the confines of the times they live in and cling to the choices they make.

"Light Across the Plains is a tale of boundaries and borders, frontiers and walls, and the necessity of crossing them, if not breaking them down. Duggal shows her storytelling ability in a book which holds its reveals until the final few pages: like all great plots, it is both inevitable and utterly unexpected."- CD Rose, 2025 Goldsmiths Prize winner
