Books by Gita Mehta

Gita Mehta's captivating and enchanting novel tells the story of a retired beurocrat who has escaped the world to spend his twilight years running a guest-house on the banks of the country's holiest river, the Narmada.

With a novelist's eye for detail and colour, Gita Mehta writes of the continent of contradictions that is host to one-sixth of the world's population. It has the world's largest film industry, and the world's oldest religions. Now as never before, the world wants to know what contemporary India is all about.
