'An intense, dramatic novel written in spare, well-crafted prose .
. . A deep, dark tale' The Hindu When Tulsi first meets Madhav, she
is irrevocably drawn to his chiselled good looks and charm.
Although wary of his many dalliances and the string of broken
hearts left in his wake, she is surprised by the intense desire
that Madhav arouses in her. And before long, she forsakes her
family, her prospective career, her fiancé-all for the love of
this inscrutable man. But love can be like poison. Years later,
Tulsi escapes to the ancient city of Vrindavan, seeking redemption
amidst the cries and prayers of its anguished widows. However, when
her past catches up with her, old wounds resurface with dramatic
consequences. 'Enthralling . . . disturbing . . . A book that
resonates powerfully with some of our most primal impulses-a
consuming love, a corrosive hatred, a need for vengeance' Indian
Express 'A novella [of] so much intensity . . . Ministhy is new to
translating K.R. Meera but manages to wring out each drop of
obsession' Outlook 'Written with such breathless energy and
foreboding that you can barely put the book down . . . A
masterpiece in miniature' The Hindu BusinessLine
