What if memory could transcend a single lifetime? What if a three-year-old child could recall a life she never lived, a mud house by a river, the taste of fish she's never eaten, a mother who isn't hers? One of our greatest living storytellers, Jnanpith Award Winner Amitav Ghosh, returns to the Royal Opera House, Mumbai, for the fourth time to launch Ghost-Eye, his urgent and expansive novel, a work that weaves together family, fate, and the fragile future of our planet.

Ghost-Eye follows Varsha Gupta, a young girl from a strict vegetarian Calcutta family who insists she remembers another life. Travelling between late-1960s Calcutta and present-day Brooklyn, the novel connects generations through buried memories, unexpected encounters, and the questions that define our existence: Who are we? What do we inherit? And how do the echoes of the past shape our understanding of a planet in crisis? Through his masterful storytelling, a single case file becomes a lens through which to examine memory, identity, and our place in an uncertain world.

Join us for an evening of literature and conversation about a novel that moves seamlessly between intimate human stories and the largest questions facing our time.
