The NEW MIGRANT is not only the story of love, conflict and coup. It is a multi-layered narrative of family quarrels, village feuds, threats of revenge and rape, expiry of land-leases of the Indian farmers and their woeful tales of dispossession and dislocations, overthrow of a democratically- elected government in 2000 and an account of hostages in the Parliament buildings.

And a saga of painful separation of some characters from their roots.

This is the story of Preeti, a girl from Punjab, who meets Ravi Kumar, a boy from Fiji. Both of them are students in a college in Chandigarh, Punjab. On his return to Fiji, Ravi writes a love letter to Preeti and puts forward a proposal of marriage. After a thorough soul-searching and having a dream of a better future in a foreign country, she travels to Fiji and marries Ravi.
Within the first few years, she discovers that the picture of the place where she is living is not as rosy as Ravi had painted, when they were in Chandigarh.

As the time goes on, Ganga, her mother-in-law, becomes bossy and arrogant and Ravi indifferent and even violent sometimes. Tired of daily arguments and taunting remarks of Ganga and Ravi, she leaves home and goes to Suva where she struggles to live a life of her own choice.
