Premkatha (Marathi, Paperback, ZAIDI ANNIE)

"Curious Villagers Stopped To Stare At This Shameless Man And Woman Whose Fingers Were Wound In Each Others` Hair, And Whose Lips Were Stretched With Impossible Smiles, And Faces Were Glowing Like Warm Red Wax In The Late Afternoon. But After A Minute Or Two, They Too Walked Away, Because Looking At The Two Any Longer Became Unbearable.` A Woman Who Won`T Let The Shadow Of Death Disrupt Her Love Life, Another Who Falls Irrevocably In Love With A Dead Police Officer, A Devoted Wife Who Steps Out Twice A Week For Narcotics Anonymous Meetings, Friends Who Should Have Been Lovers, The Woman Who Offers All Her Pent-Up Love To A Railway Announcer`S Voice ... Annie Zaidi`S Stories Are At Once Warm And Distant, Violent And Gentle - And, Above All, Untroubled By Cynicism. This Is A Look At Love, Straight In The Eye, To Understand The Alluring Nature Of The Beast. "
