"Anuradha Patwardhan is a young woman of such legendary beauty the peacocks line up to bid her farewell when she leaves her family home to meet her future husband. As part of her dowry, she carries with her a gift for singing songs so alluring, it is said even the moon listens. Her suitor, Vardhmaan, is a well-to-do doctor so handsome, serious, and dashing that girls feign fevers to be examined by him. If it seems only a fairy-tale marriage could benefit such a couple, The Last Song of Dusk tells the far darker and deeper story of a love shaped by kismet - fate - and freighted with tragedy, passion, and loss. When their first child dies in a horrible accident, their lives begin to unravel, and they seek to start anew in a heartbroken old villa by the sea, where their second child is born. Into their family comes a willful girl with a taste for scandal and a trace of leopard blood in her veins. With her in their midst and shaking up Bombay's status quo, they learn to navigate the ever-changing landscape of love."--BOOK JACKET.
