A subsequent meeting with the author of the letter leaves a question mark over the supposed death of john’s fiancée, some years earlier. He temporarily suspends his work with the hijra community in Delhi to accompany Diamond, a researcher in aesthetics, to Shimla, where he had formerly studied. At Shimla they find themselves in the midst of a rightwing conspiracy. After four weeks, when John returns to Delhi he is nowhere near a solution to the problem. If anything, events in the past seem even more inexplicable. This is a story of a deeply felt personal quest for beauty and love, against the backdrop of modern India with all its strange contradictions and tensions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kalpaz Publications","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46195073613975,"sku":"9788178355634","price":161.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9788178355634.webp?v=1769299745","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/simran-a-novel-9788178355634","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
