About the book:
Living in the beautiful hills of Darjeeling, June's life seems to be anything but beautiful. Kritika, on the other hand, has moved to Darjeeling recently from Kolkata, with her artist mother, after her father passed away a year ago. When the two imperfect characters meet, their worlds change, interlock and widen. They discover identity, passions and voices which are often suppressed in Indian society, as they explore the mystical Darjeeling. The story follows June capturing the beauty in her film camera and Kritika expressing it through art, which happens to be the size of a postcard. This is the tale of true friendship, loss and self-discovery. Postcards From Darjeeling is an account of a friendship lost in the ups and downs of life.
