| Notes | An India almost unknown to us floods the pages of this significant series of short stories sourced from the late nineteenth to the mid-twentieth centuries. Ringing with the music of India's regional languages, and peppered with wit and social commentary, these stories are windows to the past and its people- the everyday struggles and joys; the ties of friendship and faith; the politics of love and rejection; the intricacies of betrayal and envy; and the conflicts of class and caste-while continuing to be relevant to our present, puncturing the boundaries of time and space. How much has Indian society changed? How much of it has not? [from the back cover] |
