  • More about SARASWATI

Neel Mukherjee's Saraswati is a debut novel about seven people whose histories resurface with a river that will change their future forever. It is ambitious, moving, and brimming with rich folklore.

Format: Hardback
Publication date: 01 February 2024
Publisher: PROFILE BOOKS


Neel Mukherjee, a writer of rare talent, has emerged as a new voice in literature. Centuries ago, it is believed that the holy river Saraswati flowed through what is now Punjab, alongside the Indus River and its five tributaries. While some may dismiss this as myth or allegory, Satnam's arrival in Punjab for his grandmother's funeral reveals a dried-up well behind her house, containing water. This discovery sets in motion a controversial government scheme to unearth this lost river as an act of Hindu nationalist pride. Tracing each river as threads in a tapestry, Gurnaik Johal takes us through the lives of seven people whose histories are intertwined with this river, which will forever change their future. Saraswati is a debut novel from one of Britain's most acclaimed young writers, and it is a work of immense ambition, moving, and brimming with rich folklore.
