- Book Synopsis
- Bombay in the 1970s**x2014;a city of dreams, a city that seduces, a city caught in political turmoil. Sam, the bohemian dog, struggles to escape the suffocating grip of his family's puritanical values. While the country breathes heavily under the Emergency, Sam discovers a hidden talent for writing, pouring his frustrations**x2014;cultural, sexual, and personal**x2014;into words. But his self-destructive path, fuelled by drugs, alcohol, and fleeting college fests, only deepens his inner conflict. Destiny brings him to meet Isabella Gondola, a fiery Naxalite revolutionary with a fierce will to bring a change. In her, Sam sees someone who dares to dream of a world without oppression. Together, they fight to keep their love alive in a city and society that threatens to tear them apart. But soon they get caught in the vicious loop of politics. Tortured and interrogated mercilessly, they face the brutality of a regime determined to break their spirits.
