Destiny

Description

'Destiny' follows Asha Chawla’s remarkable journey from her native country of India, and the chaotic and complex story of her upbringing as the daughter of an imprisoned revolutionary and leading politician, to her life in Ireland and her role in founding one of Dublin’s most famous fashion stores along with her beloved husband Krishnan.  

Joys and setbacks are viewed with a sharp eye, revealing the courage and determination of a woman who finally perseveres and gains financial and artistic freedom through her chain of leading fashion stores and her late-flowering career as an artist. 

This is a vibrant story, a message of hope and challenge, about the tangled legacy of the past and the trials of taking a scary leap of faith. Asha’s engaging odyssey becomes a story of two countries, India and Ireland, their differences and their striking similarities, threaded though with the colour of her native land and the humour of her adopted home. Always, the resilience of her voice shines through, making this book, like its author, inspiring and compelling.
