Set in contemporary India and the Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan, Pavan K. Varma’s first novel When Loss Is Gain is a powerful story of love and loss, failure and fulfilment, despair and hope, and the true meaning of joy and sorrow in every human life. This is the story of a top-notch Delhi lawyer, diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and deserted by his wife for his best friend. As Anand disconsolately surveys the wreckage of all that mattered to him, he is suddenly granted a new lease of life: his doctor tells him that the initial diagnosis was wrong, and he is cancer-free. Determined to make the most of this second chance, Anand quits his job, severs ties with his unfaithful wife, and journeys to the solitude offered by a remote Bhutanese retreat. Deeply introspective and wrestling with questions about life, love and his future, he runs into the enigmatic Tara, a woman who is fleeing her own tragic past. Action packed yet contemplative, When Loss Is Gain, takes the reader on a gripping journey along the unexpected turns that Anand’s life takes.
