‘Tara’s story stayed with me long after I turned the last page. It draws the reader into a gamut of emotions—love, passion and human failings. An unforgettable read I highly recommend!’
—Muzaffar Ali
Writer and Filmmaker

‘In Tara, Nelofar Currimbhoy reveals a rare gift for storytelling that is at once lucid and layered, elegant and immersive. With an assured voice and a storyteller’s instinct, she weaves a narrative that blends reality with imagination, the spiritual with the mysterious and the glittering with shadow into a seamless mosaic. Her words flow effortlessly, capturing the delicate threads of longing, ambition and the enigma of human connection. Her characters are strikingly alive— flawed, vivid and deeply human—anchoring a plot that simmers with quiet tension and emotional resonance. This is a novel that seduces you slowly, pulls you in and refuses to let go. Tara is not just a novel; it is an experience.’
