Description
Fifteen overlapping stories in a remarkable new form.
Visvanathan's interlinked stories, crafted over ten years, combine nostalgia, fantasy, intellect and desire, to create a sense of being at the heart of a remembered world.
Her style is at once dreamlike and lucid-much like water color on paper. A haunting new voice.
