Catholic Club

This story involves the earlier life of Boaz before Rootless, the mysterious character introduced in Rootless, and recounts his adventures, his travels and his romantic and passionate love for Lakshmi, a beautiful and headstrong girl he meets, by chance, upon the ramparts of Mehrangarh Fort in Jodhpur, Rajasthan.  Boaz is driven by his overarching quest, and yet haunted by visions of, and need for, Lakshmi.

Lakshmi’s family is very close. The book is written collaboratively by Lakshmi’s sisters Amarti, Amithi and edited by her brother Arjun. The story has a different tempo, mood and style than Rootless.  It is coming as soon as the siblings can get back together in Bangalore.
