Description

Set in contemporary India, Love and Longing in Bombay confirms Vikram Chandra as one of today's most exciting young writers.
In five haunting tales he paints a remarkable picture of Bombay - its ghosts, its passions, its feuds, its mysteries - while exploring timeless questions of the human spirit.

'When Midnight's Children first arrived on the scene, it became necessary to revaluate stories from and about India.
With Vikram Chandra's collection - his second book - it is time to take stock again . . . Breathtaking.'
