About the Book

Ayesha Jamal is on a train to Bombay, on a mission to resolve an unpleasant complication in her husband's professional life that threatens to destroy everything. Uncertain, on edge, she responds to the passing world around her, to the realities of present-day India and her domestic life with a mixture of helpless anger and desperate hope: How long will this go on, this life where nothing is real? Can she tell her fellow-passengers the truth and be done with it? Will anything ever look beautiful again? Then, just hours before Bombay Central station, news of a wholly unexpected event, as simple and apposite as a miracle, delivers Ayesha of all her burdens...

About the Author :
Shama Futehally (1952-2004) was born in Bombay, and studied English at the universities of Bombay and Leeds. For more than three decades she combined a career in teaching with writing and translation. Her short stories appeared in several anthologies, including The Inner Courtyard and In Other Words, and her numerous book reviews and essays were published in all the major Indian newspapers and journals. Futehally's published books include the novels Tara Lane (1993) and Reaching Bombay Central (2002), a selection of Meerabai's bhajans in translation, In the Dark of the Heart: Songs of Meera (1994), Slivers of a Mirror: Glimpses of the Ghazal (2005), and her collected short stories - Frontiers - and collected essays - The Right Words - both published posthumously in 2006.

Review :
"'Quite the miniature artist, Futehally weaves a gripping tale within the microcosm of Compartment C and takes up issues that are intrinsic to the bigger Indian picture...a joy to read' - Hindustan Times 'In the microcosm of a train compartment, an entire universe glitters, drawn in visual and verbal lines taut as a spider's web...there is humour and pathos and a definite slice of life [in] this fast-moving novel. Read it!' - Femina"
