Set in the context of the zeitgeist and idealism of the late sixties, Harp is about love, longing and coming of age. The three main protagonists - a young man searching for his true love, travelling in a Europe-less-travelled including the Iron Curtain, a young woman who has a calling to music, and another young woman who has loved and lost once - provide the frame of this narrative about journeys we make across countries, even as we embark on a private quest within to know ourselves better, and to seek what it is we really want from life. Moving through India, Europe and USA, Harp follows the lives of these three young people even as they engage with the cultural, sexual, student revolutions, and the music of the sixties.
Autorenporträt
An alumnus of St Stephen's College in the University of Delhi, Nidhi Dalmia pursued post-graduate education at Oxford University and the Sorbonne and post-experience management education at Harvard Business School. His professional life exposed him to managing various factories. Nidhi cherishes the spiritual environment prevalent in his home, where Vedas and Upanishads were a part of his home schooling. Nidhi's father, the late Ramkrishna Dalmia, was one of the top three industrialists in India. He was a pioneer in several industrial fields and by dint of hard work and innovation rose as a self-made industrialist to the top, in a career spanning both British India and Independent India. Ramkrishna Dalmia's visit to the UK and the US in the early 1950s in pursuit of his ideal of One World Government got considerable media attention, especially in the US. Nidhi was in his college table tennis team at Oxford and also enjoys tennis and swimming. His interests include cinema, theatre and western, pop, folk and classical music. At heart, Nidhi is a wanderer and a romantic. This is his second novel. His first novel Harp was released in 2016 and received critical acclaim from leading newspapers and magazines including the Hindustan Times, Deccan Chronicle, among others. He divides his time between Delhi and Paris.
