The Heart Is a Shifting Sea
Love and Marriage in Mumbai
Ten years reporting on three Mumbai marriages, told with the access of a novelist.
Elizabeth Flock spent a decade following three couples in Mumbai, a Hindu-Jain marriage across caste lines, a Muslim couple whose union began in adolescence, and a middle-class pair navigating infidelity, returning to them repeatedly as the city and their expectations changed around them. The access is unusual and the reporting stays close to the ground, declining to make any of the three stand in for India.
