Description
Celebrated author Bappaditya Morena arrives on a
long holiday at quiet and quaint Daman, a sleepy
town on the western coastline of India one summer
many decades ago. He brings with himself the memory
of a dormant but much-alive history of violence,
exodus, exile and suffering, none of which can be
overcome by Mayurakshi Gupta, emerging into her
own as an author out of the shadow of her mentor
Morena. Love is inevitable between them, so is
estrangement and bitterness, social awkwardness and
emotional turbulence, and eventual sublimation and
transcendence of it all.
As literary craft and music fuse to take their love ahead,
Mayurakshi discovers over decades the unlikely ways
in which her mentor’s inspiration can weave magic for
her. In addition to being a personal story of intimacy it
is also a story of the history of the Seromon community
to which Bappaditya belongs. The Last Gift is a story
of intense intimacy, suppressed
sexuality, turbulent memory, and
restless desire, and the eventual
victory of art and creativity over
all else.
