Sobre IBD

A triptych of beautifully crafted novellas make up Anita Desai’s exquisite new book. Set in modern India but where history still casts a long shadow the stories move beyond the cities to places still haunted by the past and to characters who are each in their own way masters of self-effacement.Rich and evocative remarkable in their clarity and sensuous in their telling these stories remind us of the extraordinary yet delicate power of this pre-eminent writer.
