Short fiction from Twinkle Khanna, this collection sets its separate stories across rural and urban India and lets ordinary people carry the weight of each one.
The pieces range in tone from comic to sober, taking in village enterprise, family negotiation and the small acts by which people change their circumstances. Khanna's voice is conversational and quick with observation, which makes the collection easy to pick up between other reading; each story finishes in a sitting, so the book suits commutes and short evenings.
For the shelf:
• Separate stories set in different corners of Indian life
• A conversational style with sharp social observation
• Characters drawn from village and city settings alike
• Self-contained pieces that can be read one at a time
A good pick for readers of Indian writing in English, short-story enthusiasts and gift buyers, available at Boipoka.
