Description:

Set in 1960’s Bombay, Haunting Bombay is the story of Pinky Mittal, a girl raised by her grandmother and extended family in the city's old colonial enclave. One night, Pinky accidentally unleashes the ghost of a girl child who had drowned there years earlier. As the monsoons erupt over Bombay, the ghost plunges the bungalow into chaos and Pinky must find the courage to uncover the drowning's mysterious truth. A richly evocative tale that unfurls from the luxurious heights of Malabar Hill to the labyrinthine depths of the city’s underworld, Haunting Bombay illuminates a nation’s darkest fears and desires, and underscores the singular power of utterance.
