Description

A River Sutra by Gita Mehta is set in a tranquil guest-house on the banks of India's holiest river. A retired bureaucrat seeks solace here, but finds an unexpected gathering of lives and stories. As he listens to each tale, he ponders the meaning behind them and the secrets the river holds. The beurocrat's refuge is disrupted by the arrival of a young executive enthralled by a mysterious lover, a novice Jain monk shedding opulence for poverty, and a woman with a golden voice and a broken heart. Each story weaves together to form a complex tapestry of human experience. In this captivating novel, Gita Mehta explores the intricate web of relationships and the potent beliefs that shape our lives.
