In Delhi, her host’s rambling house in Daryaganj is a place of inclusive hospitality and of historical meetings. Here, Halide meets many people central to India’s own independence struggle, specially Mahatma Gandhi, with whom she has several conversations.\u003cbr\u003e\nBefore she departs, Halide promises to write a memoir of her time in India. The present narrator of Soul Climate peruses that memoir, and other writings by Halide, wondering what else she might have seen and remembered.\u003cbr\u003e\nIn another strand of the novel that is pure fiction, three young women, close friends and cousins, who are attending Halide’s lectures in Delhi, are each at a turning point in their lives, taking first steps on their separate new paths. To each of them Halide’s words and personality speak differently, and they form their world views even as they get swept up in the process of their coming of age.\u003cbr\u003e\nSoul Climate deftly interweaves memoir and fiction, realism and imagination. Through it, we consider afresh such ideas as nationhood, religion, idealism, what makes us, and what divides us and how we unite.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789363369924\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.6 x 5.0 x 0.7 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Speaking Tiger","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50751324291376,"sku":"Prakash_9789363369924","price":400.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/71dVuxPb0KL.jpg?v=1770647483","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/bn\/products\/soul-climate","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
