About the Book
AN EVOCATIVE COLLECTION OF STORIES THAT WEAVES TOGETHER WARM MEMORIES OF FRIENDS, PARENTS AND GRANDPARENTS, AND CITIES CLOSE AND FAR.
An unusual and evocative gaze back over the shoulder, The Little Book of Goodbyes captures the innocent intimacy that binds children, parents and grandparents, friends and lovers, and unlikely landmarks in faraway cities. Rooted in the memory of a childhood spent in Kerala, it travels through Malabar and Delhi to Dresden and New York, encountering gods, ghosts and old friends with equal aplomb, landing finally in the cool valleys of Mussoorie. Along the way, it weaves stories that illuminate the best things of life: friendship, loyalty, affection, laughter, while being mindful every moment of the inevitability of departure.
At once joyful, tender and melancholy, this is an immersive work that blurs the boundaries of fiction and autobiography.
