Three Parts Desire (PAPERBACK)

This is the quietly compelling story of Didi, who lives in exile with her faithful Sita, stern keeper of morality and unflinching buffer against the storms that have swept through Didi’s life. The narrative is driven by the force of Didi’s memories and the secrets she left behind but which never leave her: one a secret she carries from her New York youth into her doomed marriage with Purush, and the other, the far darker one she took away with her from 3, Chor Bagh, the home they briefly shared before she was forced to leave. Each skein in the intricately woven story reveals itself to the reader with a new sense of discovery, and delight in the author’s power over the words she uses and the characters she has created.
