Haunting my dreams

2009 June 25

Haunting Bombay isn’t just about mangoes, sandalwood and henna. You also get the wet sari, the dancing around trees, the curse by a blind gypsy*, the magic spell which makes animals howl, the dark menstrual powers and the bodice ripping. And that’s just the first few pages.

* Midwife, actually, but you know the trope.
