Publisher's Summary

Mira is a teacher living in the heart of Suryam, the only place in the world the fickle Rasagura fruit grows. Mira lives alone, and with only the French existentialists as companions, until the day she witnesses a beautiful woman having a seizure in the park. Mira runs to help her but is cautious, for she could have sworn the woman looked around to see if anyone was watching right before the seizure began.

Mira is quickly drawn into the lives of this mysterious woman Sara, who suffers a myriad of unexplained illnesses, and her kind, intensely supportive husband, Rahil, striking up intimate, volatile, and fragile friendships with each of them that quickly become something more.

Critic Reviews

"The Body Myth is full of questions, about our bodies and minds, about mental illness, about the history of trauma, and about the depths of friendship and love." (LA Times)

"Mukherjee's novel encapsulates the heady breathlessness of falling in love." (Publishers Weekly)

"The Body Myth is such a smart and complex exploration of what it means to be in a body in the world, what it means to be in a body that is ill, and what it means to be in a body in love. And like all of those states of being, the book is filled with ambiguity and contradictions." (Los Angeles Review of Books)

Not yielding as much as expected

The reading phase was not of the writer's, though the reading was otherwise fine. Recording also not of usual audible quality. You could have avoided noises and stop gap edits which are evidently noticeable.
