Navtej Sarna has published stories in magazines and journals in India and the UK. This is his first novel.

At the begining of the new millennium, Aftab's life came undone. He turned forty, and his wife left him for another man, taking their son with her. And now he is on a train to Dehradun, the town of his childhood, doing the one thing he feels he is still good at : running away. He has broken with his imperfect past. It is his way of getting his own back at the world.

With rare sensitivity Sarna's debut novel details a life of missed opportunities and approximate loves.

 

"Exquisitely written, deeply-felt, introspective and evocative, Sarna's first novel marks an auspicious debut."
                                               -Shashi Tharoor

"Navtej Sarna's shimmering meditation on love and loss becomes a compelling journey through the haunted landscapes of memory. "
                                                          -Vikram Chandra
