Description

A gothic novel of magnificent proportions from a master wordsmith of India, one of India's finest voices today.

Intrigue, intricacies, strange obsessions, impulsive desire, love and hatred for all reasons and seasons. A Woman who refuses to be touched. A woman who yearns to be touched. And a woman who almost is. All in a gothic novel of magnificent proportions. From a master wordsmith of India, Chandrasekhar Mamba - recipient of the Padma Shri for Literature - one of India's finest voices today, comes Katha's first novel, in a special translation.

Definitely a book to explore. Enjoy!
