	The Watch by Joydeep Roy Bhattacharya
	Price : Rs 550.00
	Your Price : Rs 440.00

Following a desperate night-long battle, a group of beleaguered soldiers in an isolated base in Kandahar are faced with a lone woman demanding the return of her brother`s body. Is she a spy, a black widow, a lunatic or what she claims to be: a grieving sister intent on burying her brother according to local rites? As she persists, single-minded in her mission, the camp`s tense, claustrophobic atmosphere comes to a boil as the men argue about what to do next.

The Watch takes an age-old story the myth of Antigone and hurls it into present-day Afghanistan. The result is an input down-able, deeply affecting book that brilliantly exposes the realities of war. It is also our most powerful expression to date of the nature and futility of this very contemporary conflict.
