Crossing the Mirage:Passing Through Youth
This ‘coming of age’ novel, set in the dunes of Chandra’s self-perceived ugliness, Nithya’s plight by Vasu’s jilt, Prema’s heartburn by Sathya and the poetic justice in his unrequited love for Kala unfolds the possibilities of life in the oasis of hope to belie that fact is stranger than fiction.
