The Householder (2013)
“Prem walked past him and went straight into the bedroom. On the little table with gilded lion-feet stood a bottle of hair-oil, a comb, a little round tin of mascara and a glass phial of scent. Indu had her back to the door; she was hanging up her picture of Mother and Baby, stepping back several times to see if it was straight. Prem rubbed his hand against the side of his leg.

‘Did you have a good journey?’ ‘It was very hot in the train.’ ‘I see,’ Prem said, and they stood and did not say anything more.MoreLess
