I have just started reading the novel "Silent Raga," by Ameen Merchant, after seeing him give a lecture at the Vancouver International Writer's Festival. This book is amazing.
When Merchant was young, he read a novel by a famous Indian author that tells the tale of a girl who's sister runs away from home, unfortunately, the novel told nothing about what happened to the sister, and he decided to tell her story.
The novel is filled with beautiful images of southern India, and the story is insightful and extremely well written.
I would highly recommend this book.
