Immortal for A Moment

Love, loss and the slow work of becoming someone new run through Immortal for a Moment. Natasha Badhwar writes about moments that seem small while they are happening and turn out to have set a direction. The writing is intimate and unhurried, rooted in contemporary Indian life: family obligation, marriage, motherhood, work, and the private negotiations behind each of them. Attention stays on emotional detail rather than on dramatic incident, which gives the book its reflective character and its steady pace. What makes it worth shelf space: • Reflective writing on love, family and personal change • A contemporary Indian setting observed at close range • Short, self-contained passages that suit reading in stretches • Emotional honesty in place of plot-driven momentum Readers drawn to quiet, introspective writing about relationships will connect with this Simon & Schuster title, available at Boipoka.
