A heart-wrenching novel about a lost lover from an Amazon. In best-selling author Yudhajit. As winter settles in, Lucy Lawson, the psychologist from Australia in a professional team, begins decorating her bed and breakfast for her Christmas house tour of Sri Lanka - while her friends Sohini Ghosh and Professor Prafulla Bora join her in Bentota Sea-shore Resort After having sudden and raging thunderstorms in the Indian Ocean, Lucy gets to see someone lurking in the storm. They have to be contented with the most unexpected guest that threatens to ruin her training program. Two unlikely yet unforgettable characters found their lives get entangled with each other after a strange meeting in picturesque Shillong, a North East India Tourist spot, popularly known as the "Scotland of East." The story of Aussie girl Lucy is eloquent and moving, balancing masterfully in yearning for self-discovery with the need for familial love. One woman's longing for life in Nature where simplicity and fundamental human values prevail. The professional psychologist and counselor takes her time off and visits hilly locales of exotic North East with an elderly strange man Vivek Marak and discovers that Vivek's story is fascinating, stark, and cruel. His recount is moving, no-holds-barred dissection of himself on the surgical table of life that ebbs and flows in its richness. Enveloping all our rationality and irrationality, emotions and frustrations, longing and despair, making us at times rejoice at our triumphs and achievements, and at times curse ourselves at the follies and blunders we commit. But the happy ending was not to be. Lucy's mind travels to her last year's visit to North-East India, this time to Guwahati, the "Gateway of the North-east." She went there on a professional job, and she met Vivek's mom Valentine on completion of her training when she traveled to Shillong. She found that the elderly lady could not come out of the grieves due to the irreparable loss. While returning from Shillong to Guwahati to catch her flight back home, so many thoughts sprang through her mind, as it happened during the past year. Her mind was engulfed in the thought of Sohini Ghosh of Guwahati, whose story Lucy found fascinating. More she came to know about that stunningly beautiful lady. She felt curious to learn more about her. She discovered details about Sohini from her elder sister Shalini Ghosh who gelled well with Lucy. She learned about the struggles the middle-class lady Sohini faced in her life that far. These things were documented in her first two books of Lucy's Trilogy, in the titles "Ecstasy on the Mountain" and "Over a Long Night."
