An unnamed narrator writes a series of letters to his daughter, explaining
how his life has gone wrong. The letters, spanning the narrator's life in India
and England, and having as their unwavering focus his daughter and the
relationship between them, speak of hopes unfulfilled, of promises broken.
In prose of extraordinary beauty and power, Soumya Bhattacharya crafts a
story of longing, love and loss. It is a story about how luck and chance and a
twist in events can irrevocably alter our lives, a story of how love can lead to
catastrophe, and, ultimately, a story about the new India, and how its economy
can make, and then break a man who always wanted only to be no more-and
no less-than a writer.
Haunting and tender, this is a remarkable novel from one of the most
distinctive voices of his generation.
