About the book
In 1962 Saraswati Iyer inherits a failing press in Basavanagudi and a ledger of debts nobody will explain. Sixty years later her granddaughter finds the ledger again. A warm, sprawling Bengaluru novel about family businesses, old loyalties and what a city remembers.

I grew up two roads from where this is set. Meera Iyer gets the light, the sounds and the aunties exactly right. Cried at the ledger chapter.Ananya Rao, Bengaluru
