THE HEART IS A SHIFTING SEA Love and Marriage in Mumbai

Two experienced narrators, Sunil Malhotra and Nicol Zanzarella, deliver this extended reportage about modern love in Mumbai, India. Zanzarella gives voice to the author, American Elizabeth Flock, and her explanatory comments about the story behind this collection. Malhotra then takes us into the lives of three real-life couples: Veer and Maya, Shahzad and Sabeena, and Ashok and Parvati. In alternating sections of each chapter, he retells the intimate details of how these couples come together and how hard they have to work to hold onto their relationships. Malhotra's delivery is steady and firm, like a father telling his children the stories of days gone by--except these tales could be of any two people passing on Mumbai's busy streets.
