Description
This inventive collection of short stories explores the tensions, connections, and misunderstandings between East and West, moving from the Indian subcontinent to Britain and beyond. Through tales shaped by religious relics, family legends, political upheaval, superstition, and the afterlife, the characters confront questions of identity, belonging, faith, memory, and mortality. Blending satire, myth, magic realism, and sharp social observation, the stories reveal how individuals create meaning while navigating cultures in collision. Witty, imaginative, and intellectually provocative, the collection showcases a distinctive literary voice concerned with the tangled legacies of history and migration.
