A crippled Urdu scholar yearning for love. Two sisters-in-law locked in a relationship of dependency and frustration. A woman reflecting on the disappointments of her marriage. Set in Allahabad, Ahmedabad and Karachi, this is a sensitive and mature collection of stories that captures loneliness, loss and the possibilities for redemption implicit in the everyday.
