The Other Side of The Table | Madhumita Mukherjee | Kharidobechobooks

Circa 1990. A world drawn and woven with words. A bond punctuated by absence and distance. Two continents. Two cities. Two people. And letters. Hundreds of them. Over years. Across oceans. Between hearts. Between Abhi, who is training to be a neurosurgeon in London and Uma, who is just stepping into the world of medicine in Kolkata. As they ink their emotions onto paper, their lives get chronicled in this subtly nuanced conversation through letters letters about dreams, desires, heartbreaks and longings about a proverbial good life falling apart, about a failed marriage, a visceral loss and about a dream that threatens social expectations. Letters that talk. And don't. Letters about this and that. Letters about everything Letters with a story you would never expect.
