Afternoon Raag - Hardcover
Moments are evoked from different lives and cultures - Indian and British - and following the mood of Chaudhuri's first novel, the author weaves an intermittent personal history. The novel draws on a foreigner's imaginary sense of England, using images from Indian classical music and languages.

Review:
About the Author:
'Chaudhuri has, like Proust, perfected the art of the moment [and written] masterpieces of intimate observation.'
(Hilary Mantel New York Review of Books)'This immensely subtle novel both estranges and gently strokes the surface of English and Indian life. I know of nothing in English fiction that begins to resemble it.'
(Tom Paulin)‘Those who are always acclaiming the "poetic prose" of Ondaatje would do well to study Chaudhuri'
(James Wood Guardian)
‘An extraordinary achievement.’
(Sunday Times)
