*****************

Three edgy, touching novellas form interlinked narratives as Sudeep Chakravarti takes the reader on a rollercoaster ride, a journey of aspiration, longing, betrayal ... and the sheer joy of being alive.

A sequel of Tin Fish , The Avenue of Kings is a brilliant portrait of a country dealing with change.

The Avenue of Kings;Sudeep Chakravarti, HarperCollins, Rs. 299.
