Description
Varmull, nestled amidst the mighty Pir Mountains and the Jhelum
River, with its small-town familiarity exchanged in quiet lanes, has
always been home. Until violence overwhelms the streets, and there
is no option but to flee. For six punishing summers in a sweltering
Delhi barsati, Rahul, Doora and their young son try to push back
their memories and their longing for Kashmir. Around them, the city
remains rude and alien. Their landlord calls Rahul a Muslim-Brahmin
because he eats meat; his Pandit relatives want him to join a Hindu
extremist group. It isn’t long then before Rahul flees again, this time
to England, where he hopes he will not have to make these choices:
Pandit or Kashmiri? Professor or husband? Rational intellectual or
wounded exile? Expat or refugee?
As he struggles to survive his foreignness, stumbling from one
accidental relationship to another, a series of bombings in London
blasts Kashmir right back into his life. And he knows he must attempt
the journey back home.
A devastating exploration of what it means to lose one’s home, A Bit
of Everything lays bare the many ways in which the violence of a land
tears apart the everyday lives of its people.
