About this product
Product Information
It's the mid-to-late 1800s and the British have banished Wajid Ali Shah -- the nawab of Awadh in Lucknow -- to Calcutta. To the sound of the soulful melody of the sarangi , the mercurial courtesan Laayl-e Aasman is playing a dangerous game of love, loyalty, deception, and betrayal. Bajrangi and Kundan, bound by their love for each other and for Laayl-e, struggle to keep their balance. Ranging across generations and geography, the scale of Laayl-e's story sweeps the devil, a crime lord, and many other remarkable characters into a heady mix. Mirror of the Darkest Night is almost an aberration in Mahasweta Devi's oeuvre. Known for her activism and hard-hitting indictment of social inequalities, she pays close attention to detail in this sparkling novel. It offers a rare glimpse of Devi's talent for telling the sort of story she normally eschewed -- and it's a cracker of a tale. 'This is a tale about passion and responsibility brushing against each other. It is about a woman making a long journey--from being a scared young girl named Munni to a much-desired courtesan who can break hearts and cause turmoil--at the risk of being branded a witch. At a broader level, it is about the different ways in which men and women usurp the things they want or need, and about their relationship with power: What does it mean to operate on the outskirts of "respectable" society while also grappling with universal human emotions?' -- Scroll

Great seller with great communication! Item arrived complete, as described and for a good price. There was a bit of an issue with tracking the order at one point (not the seller's fault), but seller was proactive in reaching out to the carrier and myself to get everything back on track. Arrived when expected.
