In his younger days, Alfred Hughes had been quite the Nineties revolutionary at
his university in England, clad in faded army fatigues and smoking Cuban cigars.
They called him Ché Freddo. His comrades-in-arms were Nido-Nitin-son
of divorced Indian immigrants, and Eugenia-ardent admirer of Sylvia Plath,
who believed that one had to sacrifice everything for a cause, be fearless in
death. Into this mix came Anju Kale, of British-Asian heritage, the only child of a
disheartened Indian Marxist father and a submissive, but wealthy, English mother,
and her entry into this tightly-knit group caused all equations to shift and change.
As time goes by, Freddo gives up revolution for the security of a college
professorship, Nido for a job at Goldman Sachs. Anju marries Freddo and tries
to come to terms with his serial philandering, in a marriage precariously held
together by middle-class sensibilities. And the devastating secret about what
happened to Eugenia.
Until Anju too finds herself caught in an extra-marital relationship. Trapped
between the need for fulfilment and a love of stability, Anju must redefine what it
means to be a family.
In prose that is lyrical and beguiling, Selma Carvalho weaves a story about a
marriage that is tender, startling and wise in turn.
This masterful work from the author of the remarkable fiction debut, Sisterhood of
Swans, confirms Carvalho's place in the literary firmament.

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.

The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
