Description
This profound novel tells the story of modern India through the life of one man, from the death of Gandhi to the rise of Modi. Amitava Kumar's beautiful and truthful fiction explores how we tell stories and write history, and how the lives of individuals play out against the background of historical change.
Against the backdrop of huge change sweeping across India - from Independence to Partition, and from personal struggles to national upheaval - Jadunath Kunwar finds meaning in unexpected places. His story is one of human connection, of finding strength in the most ordinary moments.
A novel of vaulting ambition and tenderness, My Beloved Life sheds light on how histories are built, refracted, and revised. With its remarkable scope and deep humanity, this book will resonate with readers who appreciate a rich and nuanced exploration of the human experience.
