The story sweeps through worlds and times that are inhabited by: a scientist who studies trees and a clairvoyant who talks to them; Lord Goodenough who travels around the furthest reaches of the Raj, giving names to nameless places; a geologist working towards ending futile wars over a glacier; octogenarian lovers; a superstitious dictator and a mother struggling to get her revolutionary son released; a yeti who seeks human companionship; a turtle who turns first into a boat and then a woman; and the ghost of an evaporated ocean as restless as the continents. Binding them all together is a vision of life as vast as the universe itself. Richly imaginative and irresistible in its storytelling, Latitudes of Longing announces the arrival of an incredible new literary talent.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"HarperCollins Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48328702427386,"sku":"PI487UQTM1EC","price":425.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/0473\/5226\/files\/PI487UQTM1EC.jpg?v=1726429685","url":"https:\/\/versoz.co.in\/products\/pi487uqtm1ec","provider":"VERSOZ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
