“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
