Description

Astriking collection of short stories that effortlessly recreates the hidden, secret spaces of women's lives, narratives of sexual assault, illicit liaisons and child abuse. Each story uses several voices and perspectives to unveil mysteries and sudden revelations. The protagonists are strong women-generally without men-who conspire to conceal family secrets and shield the vulnerable. In some of the stories the very houses that the characters lives in become the site as well as the metaphor for the hidden spaces of the mind. In "Suralakshmi Villa" the house takes on a dynamic life and records and reveals truths hidden from the people who inhabit it. In "Princess Poulomi" and "Crooked House" too, the changing fortunes of the characters is reflected in the homes they inhabit. "Accident" and "From an Upstairs Window" play with the crime story genre exploring adulteryreal and imagined. The powerful and extremely visual story "Mobile Mataji" explores the themes of greed and lust, religious superstition and violence in an explosive mix. Like in her novel The Inheritors, the characters of her stories simply walk out of the ink and stand before you. She locates the stories so vividly and charms the reader so completely with her pictorial details that I could hear the call of the moutushi, the sunbird, and feel myself drowning on the mud banks of the Bhagirathi in Mobile Mataji GULZAR
