Delhi, India, 1947. During the havoc of partition, fifteen-year-old Rani is attacked and raped before being left for dead. Rescued by wealthy Anglo-Indian aristocrat, Harish Hope, she is taken to his ' house,' a brothel like no other. Tempted by the women in their see-through saris, jewellery, and sequins, clients are drawn like moths to a flame adding to the diversity found inside. This becomes Rani' s world, yet other forces are constantly at play. Watched over by the many gods all over the house, elements of mysticism and the metaphysical create a rich multi-voiced tapestry, and a text infused with humour, romance, heartbreak and irony. More in the series to follow. . .
As a second-generation migrant, A. K. KARLA has first-hand knowledge of the ' foreigners' life, and an obsession with difference, the meaning of belonging, and the incessant, often unconscious search for a homeland that can no longer be found. A. K also writes psychological fiction under the pen-name Jack Duval.
