Although born in India, Asha Miró left the orphanage in Bombay where she had lived until the age of seven when she was adopted by a family from Barcelona in 1974. She grew up there and in her early twenties began to interest herself for her country of origin and her roots. That interest grew stronger and stronger until, in 1995, she decided to travel to India in order to learn about the country and its people and, more importantly, to discover her origins.

Combining her experiences with fragments of her mother’s diary, in Daughter of the Ganges she wrote a fresh and simple story that has been of interest to all adopted children and their parents, as well as to anyone interested in cross-cultural stories. Traces of Sandalwood is her first novel written together with Anna Soler-Pont.
