Description

When Jina takes up a job to fill her empty afternoons, she does not know that her secure insular world will be taken by storm. That the darkness lurking in the recesses of the city will rise to lift the veneer from her middle-class bhadralok existence. A jigsaw puzzle, a gripping tale that unravels slowly, this novel strips bare the truth about human relationship.

REVIEWS:
An uncomfortable novella. Thought-provoking would be a mild word for it.
