'The Lost Flamingoes of Bombay is a triumph!' -Amy Tan Young photographer Karan Seth comes to Bombay to document the city of his dreams, but the heartless killing of a friend draws him into a Fitzgeraldian world of sex, crime and politics. After the botched murder trial and a failed love affair, Karan moves to England to recover. But much like the flamingoes of Sewri, he is drawn by Bombay's magnetic pull, Karan too must return to the old city and to old loves. The Lost Flamingoes of Bombay pays homage to a murder trial that riveted modern India while exposing the fault lines in its society, in a story that is as much about love's betrayals as it is about friendship and its secret redemptions.
