Himalayan Love Story

Front Cover
Penguin UK, Sep 25, 2002 - Literary Criticism - 216 pages
With this haunting novel about romantic loss and fatalism, Namita Gokhale confirms her reputation as one of India’s finest writers, and one with the rare gift of seeing and recording the epic in ordinary lives. This is the story of Parvati, young, beautiful and doomed, and Mukul Nainwal, the local boy made good who returns to the Nainital of his youth to search for the only woman he has ever loved. Told in the voices of these two exiles from life, this spare, sensitive book is a compelling read.
