Shelf life: City Centre
Milk Teeth lives up to its title in a number of ways — it alludes to that innocent first romance which often evolves into something a lot more complicated, the feelings around a first home that everyone must come to terms with and the process of reconciling with who you are and what you want.
The love affair between a city and its denizens has always been a rich source of inspiration for writers. Inasmuch as people plant their roots in a city, matching the pulse of their life to that of a Madras or a Bombay, it is equally inevitable for such a romance to seem one-sided. Amrita Mahale’s debut novel recognises this as her characters interact in what can perhaps be described as inevitably clumsy, human ways.
