«Sutra del río» is the contemporary fiction novel by Gita Mehta, published in 1994 by Editorial Anagrama in hardcover (216 pages, in Spanish).
The novel begins when a high-ranking Indian official, recently widowed, decides to withdraw from the world and settle in an old inn by the sacred Narmada River. Around him pass ascetics, musicians and travelers whose stories, strung like beads on a necklace, speak of desire, loss and the search for meaning.
Volume 307 of Anagrama's Panorama de narrativas collection, translated by Susana Lijtmaer.
Readers of contemporary literary fiction with an interest in India, spirituality and interwoven tales.
