Micro review: 'Afternoon' by Nidhi Dalmia

After writing his debut novel 'Harp' in 2016, entrepreneur-author Nidhi Dalmia is back with his second novel 'Afternoon' this year.

'Afternoon' is set in San Francisco Bay Area and New York, Delhi and Kashmir in the 1960s. It follows the story of a young student and two women, whose relationships with him evolve over many years, as he finds the love of his life. One of the women is a Kashmiri Muslim who is brought up in Delhi, but the memories of her home state stay with her. The other woman is an American Field Service worker from New York, whose life changes after a short visit to India. It is during this India visit, that she decides to go to Berkley instead of the North East in India for her further studies. Meanwhile, the major political events of the 1960s end up affecting their lives in unexpected ways. Will their relationship survive the threats from other events and interested parties? Will their inter-continental relationship be able to withstand it all?
