Accidental Magic (Paperback)

Accidental Magic is the debut novel of Keshava Guha, and it moves between Boston and Bangalore. Four people who have little in common end up connected through the Harry Potter books, which sit at the center of the story and draw their separate lives together.

From there the novel looks at how fragile and imperfect close relationships can be. Its characters struggle with loneliness, keep going on hope, and look for the one connection that will feel right. Running through all of it is a conflict between what duty asks of a person and the wish to pursue their own happiness.
