This edition is the English translation of the original Hindi work titled, तिरछे आईने।
This is not just a love story.
It is the story of those voices that are often suppressed.
It is the pain of those relationships that society rejects by calling them crooked.
Tilted Mirrors is the journey of a teenager who is struggling with the questions rising within him.
Who wants to understand himself, who searches for someone like himself, and who wants to know whether his love is as pure as anyone else’s.
This novel speaks about those emotions that are often covered with silence.
The silence of the home, the gaze of society, the complexities of relationships, and a kind of love that must first struggle in order to be ‘accepted’.
At times this story feels like the innocent love of a simple heart, at times it turns into the cry of a broken soul.
And in the end, it compels you to look within yourself.
This novel does not declare anyone guilty.
It simply places a mirror before you,
tilted perhaps, but not false.
