'Art of Leaving' is the disquieting and gut-wrenching emotional journey of an Indian woman, Kaya, who struggles with the hypocritical society in which she lives… a society that worships numerous female deities, yet rapes, burns, oppresses its own women and aborts its female babies. An incomprehensible irony.<br />It is through Kaya’s relationships with the love of her life, River; her wise, disabled, talking parrot, Shrill; and an underprivileged seven-year-old girl, Phooli, that Kaya is able to untangle the complexities of modern life in India.<br />But the emotionally sensitive Kaya – a lover of birds, books and art – is ultimately sucked into a labyrinth of emotions – of love, of loss and of a failed fight for justice, that sparks a blinding desire for revenge.<br />Was it the brain tumour? Was it her lover’s way of thinking that egged her on? Or is it the need of the hour to counter violence against women?<br />This multi-layered and emotional wrought story with strong underlines for a call to action is accompanied by the author’s own illustrated works.
