About the Book: In the misty hills of Darjeeling, a landslide traps guests in a crumbling hotel, sparking a forbidden connection between carefree Neville and cautious Pavan. Years later, amid Mumbai’s glitter and grime, they meet again—Neville restless, Pavan hiding from his past. As desire and fear resurface, both must confront what was lost and what could be. Set before India’s decriminalization of homosexuality, this is a poignant tale of secrecy and yearning.
