“A beautiful book about the vagaries and strengths of sisterly love. A many-faceted gem.” —Susan Varga, novelist, poet, biographer, author of Rupture “A deeply moving, genre-disrupting, passionate work, studded with gem-like lines, from the pioneering and always surprising Suniti Namjoshi.” — Ruth Vanita, author of Love’s Rite, Memory of Light and A Slight Angle “It's full of wisdom and love, and sorrow, and loss. And yes, humour.” — Urvashi Butalia, author of The Other Side of Silence “Suniti Namjoshi in this deeply soul-searching elegy for her beloved sister Bharati has gifted the world with a testimonial to what is the pure essence of truth and love.” —Revd Julie Lipp-Nathaniel “Suniti Namjoshi will make you cry and smile, at times together. Like the swoop of a swallow, her prose glimmers and astounds. A luminous story of love, loss, and the fragility of relationships. And that fleeting thing, life.” —Bijal Vachharajani, children’s author and editor “A beautiful book about the vagaries and strengths of sisterly love.
