Between curry leaves and Kauri trees is a lyrical journey across oceans. A story of friendship, of belonging, of strong memories, and the quiet resilience of love. From the spice laden streets of small town India to the verdant natural beauty of Aotearoa(New Zealand), Rajesh Krishnamurthy weaves a tapestry of characters caught between culture, tradition, duty, ambition and rediscovering themselves in each other. A tender, evocative tale that lingers like the scent of curry leaves wafting in the summer breeze. This debut novel is a celebration of cross-cultural connection, told with warmth, wit and a deep reverence for the landscapes that shape us.
