Tapan has spent decades running away from the trauma of his childhood – his father’s stabbing of a British colonial official. He finds success in America as a physicist and vows never to return to India. But on a visit to London, he encounters Alice, the daughter of the man his father killed. She falls in love with him. Are forgiveness and reconciliation truly possible? Can we ever move on from the past? From one of India’s greatest modern writers, Blood is a thrilling drama of loss and the quest for redemption.
