HAUNTING BOMBAY is a literary ghost story set in 1960’s India that tells the tale of three generations of the wealthy Mittal family who have buried a tragic history and the ghosts of the past who rise up to haunt them.
This award-winning novel weaves together mysticism, mystery, and haunting supernatural spirits in a luminous story of power and powerlessness, voice and silence in post-colonial India.
SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE BESTSELLER
Shilpa Agarwal’s "stunning debut" has been reviewed as both a compelling snapshot of 1960’s Bombay and a ghost story that evokes the hauntings of Poe and the hot pulse of today’s vampire narratives."
