Woven around relationships, memory and desire, The Labyrinth is a haunting account of Sudipto, who, having awakened to the magic of a reclusive forest estate, forges a life-long bond with the faraway retreat, its genial owner Dadu, and his granddaughter Mrinalini. But each of these relationships must clear the tests of time and destiny, and as Sudipto is buffeted by events he has no control over, he seeks refuge in memory of these treasured old bonds. Yet when the past comes back to reclaim him in a way he never imagined, Sudipto resists it with all his might, and in a moment of blind fury commits a crime of passion that seals his fate forever. Lyrical and sensitive, told with humour and compassion, The Labyrinth is the unusual love story of a dreamer who wakes up to the persistence of memory and the insidiousness of desire. A finely crafted tale of love and guilt.Intricately woven around the insidiousness of desire and longing.Richly evocative language that sweeps from lyrical to breathless prose as events build up. An unusual love story, sensitively told with humour and compassion.
