Book description
On a long-haul international flight writer Piya Choudhury tells the one
story she hasn't yet told - her own... Loved and indulged by her mother
and grandparents, but haunted by the mysterious absence of her father,
Piya grows up in Kolkata, a gifted and impetuous child who pursues her
studies with the same passion as she does her first few adolescent
crushes, until a savage encounter leaves her repulsed. She moves to
Mumbai hoping to become a journalist and falls deeply in love with her
editor, Abir, but when a controversial story she is working on is
stymied, she is forced to choose between the man she loves and her own
integrity. Years later, she is settled in New York, married to a
renowned artist who helps her find herself creatively. A liberated,
successful, and dynamic writer, Piya has everything she's ever wanted,
until she is revisited by her past... Sensuous, profound, lyrical and
moving, Faraway Music is a story of family, friendship, fame, love and
loss - and all that lies in between… A former lifestyle journalist
with publications such as TOI, MetroNow and Asian Age and a PR head,
Sreemoyee Piu Kundu is a full-time writer based out of New Delhi. An
alumnus of Loreto House & Jadavpur University, Kolkata, Sreemoyee is
also a prolific poet. Sreemoyee has just completed her third novel, an
adult fiction Sita's Curse, while her second, You've Got The Wrong Girl,
is out next from Hachette India.
