Book Overview

by Ruth Prawer Jhabvala (Author)

Hailed as one of the best books of 1998 by the Los Angeles Times, this group of twelve short stories was written over the past twenty years. From the steamy streets of New Delhi to New York's tony Upper East Side, Jhabvala's characters grapple with the universal quandaries of the human experience-jealousy, passion, temptation, and deception-truths of life and love that follow no matter where we wander.
