Book Description

About the Book
Two strangers meet in a hospital ward and are instantly drawn to each other. A heartbroken widow finds unexpected solace when she encounters two men in love. A father watches helplessly as the sensation-hungry media preys upon his young daughter in the wake of a sex scandal.

In Yellow Is the Color of Longing, Meera's astonishing range of narrative techniques is on full display. These defiant, ebullient stories lay bare the fault lines behind the façade of everyday life, sometimes with dark humor and sometimes with astoundingly bitter sadness. Devika's sparkling translation expertly brings out the subtlety and nuance of Meera's unique voice.
