Rupture

The Land of the Well
A novel that examines this age of anxiety, where the bodies of India’s
successful corporate yuppies erupt in ways that mirror their innermost traumas.
In a world where wellness is the realm of bogus-gurus and new-age mantras,
healing can only become a mockery, sink itself in its opposite – an obsession
with disease and all its symptoms.
