In Search of Basant: A Letter to Amelyria is a mesmerising memoir of daughter's quest for a father, a poignant exhilarating journey of discovery, of an elusive connection of self with others with its tragic, comic moments that makes life meaningful.

The search germinates in France but journeys across the deserts of Rajasthan, India, Europe, America, witnesses the end of the British Empire. It brings to light a whole world lost to us blending past and present and the timeless threads that binds us all.

It is wonderfully witty and infused with love and tenderness for its reader.
