Winner of an English PEN award With her days split between a
passionate marriage and a high-octane television studio job, Homi
is a thoroughly modern young woman - until one day she is
approached by a yogi in the street. This mysterious figure begins
to follow her everywhere, visible only to Homi, who finds him both
frightening and inexplicably arousing. Convinced that the yogi is a
manifestation of fate, Homi embarks on a series of increasingly
desperate attempts to prove that her life is ruled by her own free
will, much to the alarm of her no-nonsense husband and cattily
snobbish mother. Her middle-class Kolkata life, and the
relationships that define her identity, are disturbed to the point
of disintegration. Following the inexorable pull of tradition, the
mystic forces that run beneath the shallow surface of our modern
existence like red earth beneath the pavements, Homi ends up in
Benaras, the holy city on the banks of the Ganga, where her final
battle with fate plays out.
