The Angel?s Share

‘They called what they had lost the angel’s share. They believed that an angel would take a little of their drink and, in exchange, bless the rest of it with a celestial flavour.’ Zorawar Chauhan lives two lives. In one, he has the big-money corporate law job he used to dream of. To the young lawyer, the world tenders an endless promise of wealth and privilege. In the other life – the one in his head – he is haunted by the ghosts of a past from which he is not yet free. He relives his life on the colourful campus of the National Law School, Bangalore, playing football, getting stoned, getting into trouble and falling in and out of love. And above all, he remembers the loss of his friend, the charismatic Sasha Kapur. The Angel’s Share is a story of loss and wisdom – dark, funny and relentlessly honest about youth and ambition.
