About the Book

Gopi Narayan is shocked to discover unbelievable revelations about his own finally and its history is the manuscript of novel by Rangachari, a small-time writer, and sets out to discover how a complete stranger knows so much personal detail.

Gopi’s encounter with the eccentric Rangachari and his audacious novel becomes a journey to the past, his own as well as his family’s; a return to Chennai, the city where he once lived; and, ultimately, to Kilikkara, in rural Kerala, where it all happened.

Lament of Mohini is the story of five generations of an aristocratic Kerala family, its loves and hates, and its confrontation with a sobering present. As he maps out the complex and colourful history of the clan, Shreekumar Varma brings to life a cast of unforgettable characters: Kochu Kelu, the indolent partriarch: Sarada of the bustling goodwill and legendary culinary skills; Narayanan Namboodiri, who attempts to become part of the aristocratic family he has married into; MVR, the romantic poet whose epic turns from a celebration of the loves of gods to those of humans after one magical meeting with a beautiful woman in the dark rooms of a bathhouse; and Gopi himself—self-deprecating, well-intentioned and enormously lovable.

A grand saga written with great lyricism and rich humour. Lament of Mohini is a brilliant debut.
