| A
motherless girl living with her grandmother and her uncles family in their
bungalow in 1960s Bombay inadvertently unleashes a ghost, forcing the family to
confront the shocking truth behind a drowning death that occurred there years
earlier. In her stunning debut novel Shilpa Agarwal takes on the ghosts
and dispatches them with rambunctious wit and affection. The result is like finely
wrought mirror work, a glittering tapestry of vibrant contradictions, characters,
and mysteries. Haunting Bombay flirts deliciously with the true spirit of India.
