Synopsis

A paying guest seems like a win-win proposition to the Joshi family. He's ready with the rent, he's willing to lend a hand when he can and he's happy to listen to Mrs Joshi on the imminent collapse of our culture. But he's also a man of mystery. He has no last name. He has no family, no friends, no history and no plans for the future. The siblings Tanay and Anuja are smitten by him. He overturns their lives and when he vanishes, he breaks their hearts. Elegantly wrought and exquisitely spare, Cobalt Blue is a tale of rapturous love and fierce heartbreak told with tenderness and unsparing clarity.

Goodreads review by Bindu on September 18, 2013

There are so many literary gems in our regional languages that we miss either because we do not know the language or somehow we tend to look down on them. Now that I think of it, many of the books that I absolutely loved in the recent past have all been translations. This book was originally written......more

Goodreads review by Helly on November 22, 2018

The tale commences with the narrative of Tanay, disturbed and heartbroken after Anuja's return following her elopement. Memories are painted in the following 100 pages, like an amateur artist exploring a canvas, slowly but steadily painting it darker and completing a sketch with a lack of mastery. T......more

Cobalt Blue, originally written in Marathi, is narrated in a brother and sister, both in love with the same man who comes to live as a paying guest at their house. The first part is narrated by the brother, Tanay, like he......more
