Description
Karno, an aspiring young novelist, who works two jobs – as an editor and at a charming bookstore – meeting Devaki on the streets of Delhi feels like destiny. Their days are an Amaltas-toned blur of stolen moments and quiet intimacy, a perfect love story unfolding. A chance encounter transforms into a full-blown Delhi romance. They spend evenings strolling in Lodi gardens, where young lovers lie on the grass on lazy afternoons, forgetting all notions of time, inhale cups of coffee at the iconic Madras Coffee House, browse through discounted paperbacks, and steal glances at bookstores.
But when a cryptic organization arrives at his door and reveals Devaki is not who she seems, Karno's life is shattered. To find the truth, he must navigate a shadowy world where people rent fabricated lives and pasts can be rewritten.
Lonely People Meet is a haunting and elegant debut about the choices we make for love, and what happens when the lines between real feelings and borrowed memories begin to blur. It asks a simple, brutal question: what if you could have the perfect love only to realize it's nearly not real?
