Leaving her children behind in the real world, the busier world, she has chosen to spend her last years alone in the mountains in Kasauli, in a secluded bungalow called Carignano.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUntil one summer her great-granddaughter Raka is dispatched to Kasauli and everything changes. Nanda is at first dismayed at this break in her preciously acquired solitude. Fiercely taciturn, Raka is, like her, quite untamed. The girl prefers the company of apricot trees and animals to her great-grandmother's, and spends her afternoons rambling over the mountainside. But the two are more alike than they know. Throughout the hot, long summer, Nanda's old, hidden dependencies and wounds come to the surface, ending, inevitably, in tragedy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMarvellous yet restrained, \u003cem\u003eFire on the Mountain\u003c\/em\u003e speaks of the past and its unshakable hold over the present.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Anita Desai","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44953369018415,"sku":"9788184000573","price":299.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0743\/6428\/9071\/files\/9788184000573.jpg?v=1770799896","url":"https:\/\/lunabooks.in\/products\/fire-on-the-mountain","provider":"Luna Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
