About the Book
Phantom Lovers is a collection of two lyrical novellas—With Fate Conspire and Wait!—that weaves together the poignant tales of two young Indian women whose love stories cross boundaries of time, space, and cultural barriers.
In With Fate Conspire, the romance of a young zamindar’s daughter from Bengal and a British magistrate unfolds during the backdrop of the 1857 Mutiny. Their forbidden love challenges imperialism, but their hopes of a peaceful life are interrupted by the turbulence of their time. A century later, in London, a mysterious reflection of their love story unfolds, bringing a new dimension to their passionate journey.
Wait! tells the tale of an Afghan academic and an Indian woman who meet in Rome and dream of a life together. But when the violent coup in Afghanistan of 1978 changes the course of history, their lives are forever altered. Caught in the chaos, these lovers defy time and borders, embarking on a relentless quest to reunite, navigating through political upheaval and personal sacrifice.
Award-winning author Achala Moulik's writing brings forth the mysticism and complexity of love, against the dramatic backdrop of India under British rule, and the turmoil of modern-day Kabul and Rome. Phantom Lovers captivates readers with a mix of romance, realism, and the undying hope that love, despite all obstacles, can conquer time and space.
