The most important man in Ketaki`s life “ her maternal aunt Neera`s husband “ falls into a coma after a near-drowning incident. Brought face to face with the threat of losing someone deeply loved, someone who has been more than a surrogate parent to her since her mother`s passing, Ketaki continues to swing between the solely sexual and altogether platonic relationships she has had with men “ all the while battling to bring down the wall of her aunt`s reserve. The silence between niece and aunt calcifies, only to be broken when Ketaki`s father visits from New York and shares with her a long-festering family secret. Set in the quiet leafy enclaves of South Delhi, Overwinter lays bare the menace that throbs between the order and decorum of domesticity. Agleam with razor-like observations in distilled and disturbing prose, this debut novel, which was longlisted for the Man Asian Literary Prize, investigates the cold hard internalizations of family betrayal and hurt.
