    About this audiobook

    From the winner of the Sahitya Akademi Young Writer Award and the Crossword Book Award for Fiction Shortlisted for The Hindu Prize for Literature 2015

    ‘Explores with sharp beauty the mystery at the centre of loving anyone’ Sophie Mackintosh, author of The Water Cure

    How does the world see you?

    Nine characters illuminate an unknowable woman. From the school art teacher who sees a spark of talent in her, to the man whose fleeting passion with her could change his life, to the female student whose friendship turns into love.

    Deeply affecting and luminous, this kaleidoscopic novella explores the nature of intimacy and how each connection you make forms who you are.

    • 4/5
      On loss, fading, being the leaver or the leavee. Melancholic one
    • 3/5
      Beautifully written and well set in the different perspectives. It held a lot of real life 'ups and downs' of life and relationships.
