Description
Set in contemporary Bombay and other cities, these stories reflect the kaleidoscope of urban life – evoking the colour, sounds and white-hot heat of the city. Warm, perceptive, humorous and touched with sadness, Anita Desai’s stories are peopled with intensely individual characters – the man spiritually transformed by the surface texture of a melon; the American wife who, homesick for the verdant farmlands of Vermont, turns to the hippies in the Indian hills; the painter living in a slum who fills his canvasses with flowers, birds and landscapes he has never seen.

| About The Author | Anita Desai was born and educated in India. Her published works include many award-winning short story collections and novels, three of which have been shortlisted for the Booker Prize, most recently Fasting, Feasting. She is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature and of the American Academy of Arts and Letters, and lives in New York State. |
As finely written atmospheric pieces alone the stories would be memorable… As social documents they are absorbing. The volume's profound theme is the tension between convention and exploration, family solidarity and individualism… An admirable humane and responsible achievement |

| Other text | One of the most brilliant and subtle writers ever to have described the meeting of eastern and western culture |
