<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>On the heels of his award-winning and extravagantly praised first novel, RED EARTH AND POURING RAIN, Vikram Chandra offers five ingeniously linked stories--a love story, a mystery, a ghost story, and other tales spun by an elusive narrator sitting in a smoky Bombay bar. Critics around the world have embraced the book as a major work by this exciting young writer.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>The stories in "Love and Longing in Bombay" are linked by a single narrator, an elusive civil servant, who recounts an extraordinary sequence of tales to those seated around him in a smoky Bombay bar. Each of these stories belongs to a distinct genre: in 'Shakti, ' a love story, two feuding families are united by forbidden passion; in 'Dharma, ' a ghost story, a soldier forced to save his life by amputating his own leg returns home to find that his house is haunted by the spirit of a small child; and in 'Kama, ' a mystery, a detective takes on a murder case and finds himself traveling deep into the farthest reaches of carnality and deceit.
