Description
On a rainy afternoon in Cherrapunji, the postman arrives with a letter for fourteen-year-old Saphira, and her life will never be the same. Dalinia, meanwhile, seems to have the perfect life: successful husband, cute children, a beautiful home. But her troubled past refuses to disappear, and the emergence of a handsome competitor at the local golf course brings it back in disturbing fashion. Written in a lyrical, yet plainspoken style, this collection of ten short stories tell of love, loss, and longing, set against the brilliantly realized backdrop of contemporary Meghalaya, in India’s northeast. Readers of contemporary fiction will find themselves transportedinto other lives and other placesbut they will recognize the dilemmas, the heartbreaks, and the emotions as those common to all humanity. - from Amzon
