Publisher's Synopsis
In this lush assortment of short stories Sudha Balagopal resonates a wide range of deeply human topics. Stories in this collection deal with issues such as unemployment and teetering marriages, a daughter's unexpected pregnancy and the care of elderly parents. Most of the stories in this collection bare truths that are universal, issues and conflicts which are of everyday life -- personal, economic or familial. The characters in these stories are familiar -- they are the people we meet everyday. But these seemingly ordinary characters are of density and of multiple shades which make them and these stories so unique.
