About the Book

Superstition and guilt.

Innocence and death.

Love and loneliness.

The various fallacies of life find expression in these stories. It takes the reader into the depths of depravity, death and sometimes the vagaries of fate.

There is heartache and also hope, butterflies and tigers, innocence and madness. From Shantiniketan in West Bengal to nomadic tribes within the Jim Corbett forest, from the sandy beach to a simple thatched roof, from an obsessive relationship to a cursed existence, this book reveals a world stripped bare of superficiality.

Each of the short stories is a riveting capture of life which is usually ignored and mentioned only in hushed tones.

Half-Past Lives brings alive the juxtaposition of human frailty against their hopes and ambitions. It takes you into the mind of the characters, creating a vivid yet unvarnished canvas. The book explores the lives of characters and their vulnerabilities. And each comes with a twist, keeping the readers riveted till the very end.
About the Author: Sree Sen is a wordsmith at heart, a journalist by profession and an author by passion. Her affair with writing started at the age of 18 when she was hired as a freelancer for an online portal of Anandabazar Patrika in her second year of graduation at St. Xavier's College, in her hometown Kolkata. During her decade-long career as a reporter, editor and producer, she was mentored by the best in media at The Times of India and Zee (DNA newspaper & WION TV).

It was during a personal crisis that she started writing short stories. After a whirlwind career across Chennai, Mumbai and Delhi, Sree went back home to take care of her grandfather, suffering from Parkinson's. She started jotting down observations about the lives and escapades of people around her. Drawn from a harsh reality which is often left unexplored, these anecdotes gradually developed into stories.
