Why it's in the Cabin
Desai’s meditative novel charts Nanda Kaul’s solitary retreat to the Himalayas, where the echoes of past regrets flicker like distant fires. Desai’s precise, poetic language maps inner landscapes as breathtaking as the mountains. This story’s quiet depths and compassionate portrait of aging lend it remarkable emotional power.
