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.’ Observer
