Set in contemporary India, 'The Romantics' tells the story of Samar, a young man who goes to live in Benares to avoid a small town job and to lose himself in reading and a world beyond himself. But soon the realities of the bustling holy city begin to intrude as Samar is introduced to a world o Europeans, of modern INdia and of disappointed love.
With his wonderfully vivid, precise and unsentimental prose Mishra draws us deep into the lives of his characters and perfectly captures the inner turmoil of a modernising India, of people forced to adjust to an ever-changing world.
