It is their last evening together. Maya, Sandra, and Derek, graduate students at UC Santa Cruz and housemates for three years, prepare to sit down at the tortoise listening table for dinner with Uncle Prithvi, the house-owner. It's a cheerful and quirky household Sandra is prone to "Orkut attacks"; Derek silently pines for the wistful-looking Afghan boy in the photo on his wall, taken while a war journalist in Afghanistan; Maya, who has the hots for Derek, is inexplicably terrified of the ocean; elusive Uncle Prithvi communicates through notes he leaves all over the place.
Sad at parting, perhaps forever, and half tipsy, they play a game of telling stories - their own stories. As the evening deepens, unexpected secrets and fears of the four lives are unveiled. Sandra, abandoned at birth, tells of growing up in an orphanage with her precious twin, disabled Solana, only to be separated by circumstances; Uncle Prithvi rues the loss of his beloved daughter, whom he betrayed when he sought a new life with Karen in the US. And, Maya and Derek, who suddenly absents himself, cannot bring themselves to voice their tragedies - except in a soliloquy.
Mysterious and compelling, Table for Four is a rumination in miniature ivory of the burden of secrets and the pain of remembering and accepting the betrayals, loss, and tragedies of our lives.

"Walk your story one step at a time. Telling your story is walking the labyrinth right into your own center. And that is your way back into the world. The way in is the way out.." says Michael the writing mentor in the book and what a labyrinth Srilata takes us through in the book, taking us right into the center of our own lives while she tells us a story about the lives of Prithvi, Sandra, Derek and Maya whose paths meet in Santa Cruz, California. Maya, Derek and Sandra are students lodging with Prithvi Uncle who migrated to the US. Choosing an earthquake prone town for the setting of this story is very poignant.A story of love, betrayal, loss and survival. The book starts off as a very easy read, written as one speaks it, but before you know it the reader is left grappling with his inner fears, hidden guilt and long forgotten past. Reaching down deep into one's past and looking at oneself as you are is no easy task but the writer makes it happen so effortlessly with her prose. A book which touches you and uplifts you, a book that will stay with you long after you have read it. The book deals with love in a soft sensual way, a love that is more about giving and less about receiving. The book talks about loss and betrayal and takes you to a place you have long run away from and then makes you see why you no longer need to fear survival.

With "Table for Four", I did something I hadn't done for a long time - read a book from cover to cover at one go. Delightful, unfinished, melancholic, gripping - strangely, all of these serve to describe the book. Read it! Some experiences are best left undescribed.
