Description
She's a quiet flame, a roaring sea. He's restless wave, an autumn. Set in the Dilly of the 1920s, Mehak and Kripanarayan's love story threatens the seams of family and passion, as Kutumb the wife gropes for the slivers of a broken marriage. Three powerful characters, three distinct voices. Krishna Sobti crafts a perfect wind cup that shields the flickering flames of love and life.
REVIEWS
Here is a writer deeply rooted in the integrated human experience who believes in combining both male and female elements creatively in the content.
-The Tribune
Krishna Sobti allows Freedom even to her characters, so they can speak out her silences.
-Out look
Krishna Sobti is one of the revere sentinels of Modern Indian Literature.
-Hindustan Times.com
The very fact that Dil-O-Danish is by Krishna Sobti should be sufficient reason to dispense with the need to use superlatives in praise of its taut form, its dramatic intensity, its absolute humanity, and its profound vision couched in a most graceful and insightful language.
