It is 1938 and the rule of the Raj in India is drawing to a close. But Mrs Banerjee's cinema, Coronation Talkies, remains a piece of imperial glory in Chalaili, a faded outpost high in the Indian hills. When the sleepy hill-station becomes the setting for a seduction, the ramifications are many. Full of humour, lush sensuality and star-crossed love, and set against a rich Indian backdrop of post-colonial India, this novel evokes the colour of Monsoon Wedding and the fish-out-of-water humour of The Kumars at No. 42. A feast for the senses and a tale full of the exotic. This is the long-awaited Indian novel from one of Australia's most respected travel journalists.
