| General note | It evoked a feeling in her—of silence and freedom, of riding a bicycle on a dirt track cutting<br/>through fields<br/>In the absence of her parents, Nanaki, a fiercely sensitive young woman, is brought up by her<br/>grandparents in a quaint Chandigarh neighbourhood. She grows up to be an artist and a professor<br/>in an art college. As Nanaki goes through the motions of an idyllic childhood and a difficult<br/>teenage love, her experiences play out against a haunting backdrop of Partition and her Beeji’s<br/>turbulent personal history.<br/>Nanaki is brought face-to-face with the dark underbelly of contemporary Punjab when she takes<br/>up the cause of a consummate embroidery artist against a corrupt system while also being privy<br/>to two women's heartbreaking stories in her immediate vicinity. Through it all, it is her<br/>Sufi bearings that sustain her. Meanwhile, over many motorcycle jaunts to the tiny hill-town of<br/>Kasauli, Nanaki finds love in Himmat, an architect with his own share of personal tragedy and<br/>a scarred childhood.<br/>Meditative, rooted in a location yet filtered through nostalgia, In the Land of the Lovers is a masterfully<br/>woven fable with interlocking tales that explore struggle, loss, longing and love with brilliant<br/>insight and luminous prose. |
