Intensely written, Scent Of The Past, unfolds a resonant story of two pairs of lovers, who meet after decades of estrangement. Opening in 1977 Calcutta, the story snakes its way through Snoqualmie, America to Heathrow to the breathtakingly beautiful hills of Shimla, India. Life and the myriad complexities that come with it take the lovers and their beloveds through a roller coaster ride. None has a clue where the other had been, all those years of solitary existences. None knows what to expect now, from the other? Or from themselves? Past rises with surprising clarity, colludes with the present, and promises to materialize a breathtakingly new future. A kind of future nobody has dreamt of before. Promises that have been broken once, could be forgiven… and then forgotten? Could new promises be made with old mates? Spanning across generations, this sweeping novel deftly knits love, family, and social circumstances into an unforgettable tapestry that explores the multiple shades of human relationships against the irreversible canvas of the passing time.
