**Includes a new foreword by Pankaj Mishra** Bombay in the 1980s:
Shyam Lal is a highly regarded voice teacher, trained in the
classical idiom but happily teaching more popular songs to
well-to-do women, whose modern way of life he covets.
Sixteen-year-old Nirmalya Sengupta is the rebellious scion of an
affluent family who wants only to study Indian classical music.
With a little push from her mother, Shyam agrees to accept Nirmalya
as his student, entering into a relationship that will have
unexpected and lasting consequences. With quiet humor and
unsentimental poignancy, The Immortals is a luminous portrait of
the spiritual and emotional force of a revered Indian tradition, of
two fundamentally different but intricately intertwined families,
and of a society choosing between the old and the new.
