WINNER OF THE BETTY TRASK AWARD

WINNER OF THE PREMIO GRINZANE CAVOUR PRIZE

'A magical piece of storytelling' --Sunday Times

After Anuradha and Vardhmaan's fairytale marriage is interrupted when their young son dies in a tragic accident, they try to rebuild their devasted lives in an old house by the sea. In this history-soaked mansion in 1940s Bombay, the couple is joined by Anuradha's niece, Nandini, a dazzling young artist with cat's blood running in her veins. As Nandini daringly takes on Bombay's art scene, the couple works to save their marriage, eventually discovering that real love, as unpredictable as it is nourishing, is given and received in silence. Witty, perceptive and sad by turns, The Last Song of Dusk has endeared itself to a generation of readers with its wild charm and deep heart.
