Vikram Seth recommends
 Chowringhee (1962) Sankar "I read Chowringhee many years ago in a Hindi translation and lost myself in it for days. It was a wonderful experience - both gripping and moving. I... hope [this english translation] gets the wide readership it deserves." |  The Lost City (2007) Henry Shukman "A very gifted and haunting new writer." |
