Description
One Small Voice by Santanu Bhattacharya is an intoxicating portrait of modern India, set against the backdrop of a country in turmoil. In 1992, ten-year-old Shubhankar witnesses a terrible act of mob violence that will alter the course of his life.
As he approaches adulthood, Shabby focuses on escaping his past through good school, good degree, and good job. However, when he arrives in Mumbai in his twenties, he begins to question whether there might be other roads he could choose. His new friends, Syed and Shruti, are also searching for alternative paths, buoyed by the freedom of the big city.
As nationalism rises across the country, their friendship becomes a rock they cling to, but even this seems fragile when Shabby must reckon with the ghosts of his past. Bhattacharya's storytelling talents shine in this devastating and intimate tale that is both political and radical.
