In this retelling of Govardhanram Tripathi's sprawling magnum opus Saraswatichandra Sameer Acharya makes accessible and brings to life for a modern readership one of Indian literature's great classics. Set in late nineteenth-century India this is the story of an educated and spiritual young man whose life is at a crossroads. Betrothed to and in love with Kumud he nevertheless breaks off their engagement due to escalating familial tensions and leaves Bombay to learn about his country and seek enlightenment. A series of events leads both Kumud now married and Saraswatichandra to an ashram where they must decide how to go on with their lives ... At its heart this is a novel about an India where tradition and modernity are locked in battle.
