What the Rain Kept · Pulse Beat

Two people, a second-hand bookshop, one long monsoon and one slow failure. A love story in thirty chapters. A work of fiction.

Ishaan sells used books in a lane that floods every June. Tara comes in to return one she has already read three times. Over one year of rain they build a shop, a love and a debt, and learn which of the three can be kept. A work of fiction: the people and the shop are invented.
