My Kind of Girl

A modern-day BengaliÂ Decameron, My Kind of GirlÂ is a sensitive and vibrant novella containing four disarming accounts of unrequited love. In a railway station one bleak December night, four strangers from different walks of life â€”a contractor, a government bureaucrat, a writer, and a doctorâ€”face an overnight delay. The sight of a young loving couple prompts them to reflect on and share with each other their own experiences of the vagaries of the human heart in a story cycle that is in turn melancholy, playful, wise, and heart-wrenching. The tales reveal each traveler's inner landscape and provide an illuminating glimpse into contemporary life in India. Coming out of a great storytelling tradition,Â My Kind of GirlÂ is a moving and imaginative look at love from one of India's most celebrated writers.
