"After Kunal's mother dies, he is sent off to a boarding school in the hills. Till he has a hostel room, he stays with Tara, his father's cousin, who teaches a special music programme in the school. Teaching music helped Tara after her best friend died--that, and perhaps the company of the enigmatic figure known as Death, whom she sees everywhere. Tara and Kunal must try to live together, their lives entwined by their separate losses--which neither is comfortable talking about. This is a tale of love and loss, of the healing and illuminating power of friendship, art and music."--Back cover.

Rumi is not too enthusiastic about accompanying Baba to the sleepy village of Shankerpur, where he is planning to convert their ancestral home into a bed and breakfast. But Rumi is happy to be away from school and friends who have problems understanding Rumi's identity. In the middle of one night, Rumi encounters a ghost--Rain, who does not remember his own story or why he is compelled to be a ghost. And it is in trying to help Rain find his peace, that sets Rumi on a journey of love, friendship and acceptance. This is a tale of love and loss, of rejection and affirmation, and above all, the healing and illuminating power of friendship.
