Beskrivelse
Lonely, middle-aged, at a personal and professional dead-end, Iti Arya fleesthe towers and bright lights of Gurgaon for The Dacha, a remote cottage inthe Kumaon Himalayas where she had spent perhaps the happiest years ofher childhood. Over the course of that single monsoon in the hills, in thecompany of two grandmothers-ninety-something Badi Amma and RosinkaPaul Singh, aged one hundred and two-and a mysterious girl who may beher sister, Iti will make peace with her approximate life and quiet desolation.She will witness the vanity of youth, but also its vulnerability and tenderness;the indignities of age, and also its courage and consolations. She will submit tolife and the eternal spirit of the mountains.With Never Never Land, Namita Gokhale shows, again, why she is one of India'smost original and daring writers, with an extraordinary understanding of thehuman condition.
