Event Description

What happens when love becomes a matter of life and death?

Join award-winning author Indrani Talukdar in conversation with Reena Pereira as they discuss Till the Dust Settles, a compelling collection of fiction that moves between danger, humour, and the complexities of everyday life in India.

At the heart of the book is a gripping novelette about a couple forced to flee their rural community after an illicit romance puts them in mortal danger. Alongside it are witty and insightful stories of small-town India—featuring eccentric dowry negotiations, family dramas, unexpected acts of courage, and moments of quiet transformation.

Drawing from her experiences across India and abroad, Talukdar's writing explores the tensions between tradition and change, individual desire and social expectation, while capturing the humour, contradictions, and resilience of ordinary lives.

Whether you're a lover of fiction, curious about contemporary Indian storytelling, or simply looking for an engaging literary evening, this is an opportunity to meet the author, hear about her writing journey, and participate in a lively discussion followed by audience Q&A.
