Twenty Three Summers
by Shrutidhora P Mohor
Set against the backdrop of a conflict-ridden Kashmir valley and spanning twenty-three years of unfinished love and longing, pain and sublimation, this is a story of refracted love between ambitious and competent Sudarshan and quiet and tender Farooq, two human souls who bleed and cry together but on two different notes. For tormented Sudarshan, love is about being unambiguous in its proclamations, aggressively possessive; for helpless Farooq, it is about stepping back, letting go, nurturing, caring, attending, renouncing. The personal currents of a turbulent relationship and the political dynamics of Kashmir cross-cut and fuse in this political love story.

Kakorkoli/No Matter How
by Polona Glavan
The novel follows two parallel narrative strands with chapters alternating between the voice of 17-year-old Lili and that of university student Alja. While Lili, a high school student from an underprivileged background, and her older boyfriend Mars deal with an unplanned pregnancy, 20-year-old Alja has just returned from a summer backpacking in Ireland and is now trying to bridge the distance between her and David, whom she fell in love with in Ireland. Both Lili and Alja soon realise that the world around them is much bigger and much more complex than their love woes, and while the first half of the novel deals with the girls’ personal problems, the second half takes on a certain social urgency. Through tutoring, Alja meets 13-year-old Senad who lives in abject poverty with his Bosnian family. Appalled at the conditions they live in, she joins an activist group that fights for minority rights. Meanwhile, Mars loses his job after an outburst against an immigrant. The paths of the two protagonists cross in a brief but fatal moment when they find themselves head to head at the same street protest. The circumstances of their brief meeting mark the end of the world as they know it, and while their lives are changed forever, they need to continue – no matter how.
