Mirror Of The Darkest Night

It’S The Mid-To-Late 1800S And The British Have Banished Wajid Ali Shah—The Nawab Of Awadhi In Lucknow Calcutta. To The Sound Of The Soulful Melody Of The Sarangi, The Mercurial Courtesan Laayl-E Br≫Aasman Is Playing A Dangerous Game Of Love, Loyalty, Deception And Betrayal. Bajrangi And Kundan, Bound By Their Love For Each Other And For Laayl-E, Struggle To Keep Their Balance. Ranging Across Generations And Geography, The Scale Of Laayl-E’S Story Sweeps The Devil, A Crime Lord And Many Other Remarkable Characters Into A Heady Mix. Mirror Of The Darkest Night Is Almost An Aberration In Mahasweta Devi’S Oeuvre. Known For Her Activism And Hard-Hitting Indictment Of Social Inequalities, She Pays Close Attention To Detail In This Sparkling Novel. It Offers A Rare Glimpse Of Devi’S Talent For Telling The Sort Of Story She Normally Eschewed—And It’S A Cracker Of A Tale.
