Linking the outside world to a melancholic mind of myriad questions, mainly concerning the sheer existence and the need of

imaginations… building realms of fantasy or nightmares… all these consist the themes in this debut volume of verse by this young poet.

lead a life as he pleases. He then becomes the centre of a horrible crime — the rape and death of a young girl, Meena. The
legacy of his horrific act leaves behind both families shattered – Meena’s family leaves the city to avoid recollection of the
incident and Jiten’s own family continues to live in a society where the idea of being guilty by association still prevails.

An urban Indian romance; the story of Abe and Candace
ISBN No: 8188811602
Price:
India: Rs 345
Elsewhere: US $15.00

Candace Selvakumari Jones is a fashion designer-turned-merchandiser from Chennai, India, who is pissed off with the lifeless
life that she is leading. This free spirit hasn’t partied in the last four years. All she ever did was work her butt off. And
just when she decides to go and dance away a Saturday night, work plays spoilsport again. She is forced to fly to Bangalore.
Now, Candace can’t help but swear at those plotting crooks [read: colleagues] and at the cruel twist of fate.
In Bangalore, Abe E Koshy is perhaps the only 26-year-old who acts and thinks like a 50-year-old. This financial analyst has a
plan for everything in life and has built a reputation of being ‘Mr Almost Perfect’. He lacks the ‘fun’ gene in his system, but
does not know that — unfortunately. His life was almost perfect till the day he met Candace, yet again.
Here are things that you should know:
1. Abe and Candace: both were debate champions in high school;
2. They argue about everything;
3. Other than these two things, they have nothing else in common.
Now, the question on everyone’s lips is:
‘Did love, eventually blossom?’
The answer is ‘Yes’. But not the way you anticipated...
