Book Description
"World-weary at the ripe old age of twenty-nine, Delhi-based journalist Ulka Bhatt thinks she's seen it all. Then comes the news of her father's sudden tragic demise in a road accident on the yatra route to Yamnotri. So she heads to her village, Mirasu, in Uttarkashi district of Uttarakhand to attend the last rites and wind up her father's extensive farming ventures in the village. But she is in for a rude awakening, not least of which is the existence of an unknown young half-brother. In a bizarre sequence of events, Ulka finds herself making her home in Mirasu which is as alien to her as a foreign country. Even more challenging are the foibles of the colourful denizens of this remote mountain village who test the limits of her patience. The force with which she is swept away by unforeseen and often jarring events at every corner leading to a chilling climax teaches her that evil can lurk anywhere, even in a sleepy scenic mountain hamlet."

The Comet Seekers
Author: Helen Sedgwick
Publisher: HarperCollins
ISBN: 0062448781
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 208
Book Description
A magical, intoxicating debut novel, both intimate and epic, that intertwines the past, present, and future of two lovers bound by the passing of great comets overhead and a coterie of remarkable ancestors. Róisín and François are immediately drawn to each other when they meet at a remote research base on the frozen ice sheets of Antarctica. At first glance, the pair could not be more different. Older by a few years, Róisín, a daughter of Ireland and a peripatetic astronomer, joins the science team to observe the fracturing of a comet overhead. François, the base’s chef, has just left his birthplace in Bayeux, France, for only the second time in his life. Yet devastating tragedy and the longing for a fresh start, which they share, as well as an indelible but unknown bond that stretches back centuries, connect them to each other. Helen Sedgwick carefully unfolds their surprisingly intertwined paths, moving forward and back through time to reveal how these lovers’ destinies have long been tied to each other by the skies—the arrival of comets great and small. In telling Róisín and François’s story, Sedgwick illuminates the lives of their ancestors, showing how strangers can be connected and ghosts can be real, and how the way we choose to see the world can be as desolate or as beautiful as the comets themselves. A mesmerizing, skillfully crafted, and emotionally perceptive novel that explores the choices we make, the connections we miss, and the ties that inextricably join our fates, The Comet Seekers reflects how the shifting cosmos unite us all through life, beyond death, and across the whole of time.
