Synopsis Set in Calcutta, Tara : A Fleshtrade Odyssey traces the history of a young naive twelve year old, Tara, who is kidnapped by a girl trafficker and taken to a notorious brothel located within the city. Tara suddenly finds herself thrown into an infamous world of sex, lies, deception and deceit--a world few of us imagine exists. In a desperate attempt to locate her, Tara's father and brother search for her, using only a few simple clues to act as their guide. As the two of them come closer to their ultimate goal of finding and rescuing her, they too, are forced to confront the demon which lurks behind the curtain of India's commercial sex industry. For the reader, this heart-wrenching tale of love, life, corruption and evil provides a small glimpse into a world seldom seen by outsiders--a world that is all too often much closer to home than we might want to admit.
