About this listen
Venkat answers urgent knocks on the door to his flat one evening to find two insolent young men claiming to have business with his daughter Rekha. He deals with them shortly, only to find his quiet, middle-class life upended by a bewildering set of events over the next few days.
Even as Venkat is hurled into a world of street gangs and murky journalism, we see a parallel narrative unfold of a betrayal and disappearance from long ago. Could there be a connection? Set over four mostly sleepless days, we see Venkat lose grasp of the narrative even as he loses grasp of his wife and daughter.
Exquisitely translated from the Kannada by Srinath Perur, Sakina’s Kiss is a delicate, precise meditation on the persistence of old biases—and a rattled masculinity—in India’s changing social and political landscape. Ingeniously crafted, Vivek Shanbhag interrogates the space between truth and perception in this unforgettable foray into the minefield of family life.

Good book, very poor production quality
Production quality of the audiobook is very bad. This book deserved better. Voice is muffled throughout the book

Do not buy this audiobook
Spending a credit or worse, buying this audiobook is a crime. This production is an absolute scam and a disrespect to the audience. Srinath Perur’s translation is great but the man’s narration is terrible. No emotion, no inflection, no voice acting, just a dull, drab monotone. And to make matters worse, and this is where the scam part comes in, it sounds like dude recorded this in his BEDROOM. On his PHONE. Traffic sounds and awkward pauses abound. Librivox, where amateurs put up their home recordings, has better quality. To sell this garbage quality ‘production’ for 879 rupees is pathetic and the author and Srinath should be ashamed for disrespecting their audience like this.
