Across the Black Waters is a powerful and moving novel that explores the experiences of the Indian diaspora. Set in London and India, the novel follows the lives of three characters as they navigate the challenges and rewards of living between two worlds.

The novel's protagonist, Lal Singh, is a young Indian man who comes to London to study law. He is drawn to the city's vibrant culture and opportunities, but he also struggles to adjust to its unfamiliar ways. Lal's experiences reflect the challenges faced by many immigrants, who must learn to navigate a new culture while also maintaining their ties to their homeland.

The novel's other two main characters are Prem Singh, Lal's father, and Rani Singh, Lal's sister. Prem is a respected doctor in India, but he is also a traditionalist who struggles to understand his son's desire to leave home. Rani is a young woman who is torn between her traditional upbringing and her desire for a modern life. The experiences of these three characters provide a rich and nuanced portrait of the Indian diaspora.

Across the Black Waters is a beautifully written and deeply moving novel that explores the complex and often contradictory experiences of the Indian diaspora. Anand's writing is both lyrical and insightful, and he creates characters that are both relatable and unforgettable. This is a must-read for anyone interested in the Indian diaspora or in the human experience of immigration.
