About this ebook
Named A Most Anticipated Book for Fall by Publishers Weekly!
From the author of the acclaimed novel The Fertile Earth comes a powerful tale of desire, friendship, and rivalry between three inseparable friends over the course of an unforgettable summer.
"The past haunts the present mercilessly in Ruthvika Rao's spellbinding novel that probes the hidden depths of dark human emotions." ―Ledia Xhoga, author of Misinterpretation
In 1990s Hyderabad, three teenagers—Arjun, Ruhee, and Ganesh—forge an unexpected bond. Over the course of a single sun-drenched summer, they discover love, friendship, and solace from their troubled families. They also discover the Red House, an abandoned house in their neighborhood, which becomes the site of their intimate friendship. But one night at the Red House, an unexpected act of violence shatters their lives forever.
A decade later, Ruhee returns to Hyderabad, and Arjun, who has never forgotten his first love, is given a chance to tell the truth, both to himself and to those around him. But the tangled threads of fate, class, and desire remain, as does a lacerating secret.
By turns tender and unsettling, Ruthvika Rao’s All Our Evenings is a deeply affecting novel about youthful passion, redemption, and the people we can never let go.
