Synopsis
The most important man in ketakiâ€s life â€" her maternal aunt neeraâ€s husband â€" falls into a coma after a near-drowning incident. Brought face to face with the threat of losing someone deeply loved, someone who has been more than a surrogate parent to her since her motherâ€s passing, ketaki continues to swing between the solely sexual and altogether platonic relationships she has had with men â€" all the while battling to bring down the wall of her auntâ€s reserve. The silence between niece and aunt calcifies, only to be broken when ketakiâ€s father visits from new york and shares with her a long-festering family secret.set in the quiet leafy enclaves of south delhi, overwinter lays bare the menace that throbs between the order and decorum of domesticity. Agleam with razor-like observations in distilled and disturbing prose, this debut novel, which was longlisted for the man asian literary prize, investigates the cold hard internalizations of family betrayal and hurt.
