Latitudes of Longing
In the feverish tropics of the Andaman Islands, a young-botanist tends to a fragile rose he has imported to welcome his bride. He is entranced by her tierce nature and unusual gifts; speaking to trees and the ghosts of former colonialists. These islands, she tells her adoring husband, rest on a fault line cracked so deep into the earth that spirits cross the boundary freely But it is not this fracture that takes a tragic bite out of their happiness. A breathtaking epic, Latitudes of Longing possesses the reader with a blazing sense of wonder. Shubhangi Swarup's vision goes deeper than the human stories of the subcontinent to reveal the conscious history of the earth itself.
