 About This Book... 


On a gloomy December evening in a sleepy village in Goa, it’s time for yet another funeral. The Girl is dead and no one in Azul is surprised. But two men who knew and loved her are achingly curious to discover what made her give up her life to the sea.
As they turn the pages of her diary, a story unravels—of loneliness and abandonment, of memories branded so deep that they return to haunt the soul, and of hope so powerful that it negates reality and opens the doors to a future that is never to be.
Richly atmospheric and written with unusual lyricism, The Girl is an outstanding debut—a tender and disquieting story about love and its infinite capacity for betrayal.

Great stuff!
Good to see that Penguin India is finally making high quality fiction affordable. I enjoyed "The Girl" very much for its simple yet sensitive literary style, and found it well-designed and nicely packaged too.

Beautiful book
Anyone who has read her news stories or blog knows the quality of her writing. This book is lyrical and touching. It is set in Goa and really gives you the feel of the state, reading the book you are transported straight into a sleepy Goan village - beautiful portuguese houses, old churches, delicious food, village gossip and all... This is a great read, especially if you have been to Goa, or are thinking of going. I first read an excerpt on www.soniafaleiro.com, where you can also read some of her Tehelka newspaper writing. Give this one a try - it also happens to be great value at under 250 for a hardback, and has a beautiful cover.
