Mr King of Spades (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781804395851)

There comes a stage in Solitaire when you think you are winning and in that confidence you unravel another set of cards, which creates a huge mess and then you aren't closer to the end but are instead struggling with the new cards dealt with. Nothing fits and the only option is to press the undo button to put the new cards back and strategize.

Life unfortunately doesn't have an undo button.

- Dixy Gandhi (Mr.King of Spades)

Palash in his mid thirties is caught up in the hamster wheel with work, playing Spider solitaire for hours and an occasional game of squash. Yet there is one person who breaks apart Palash's tedious reality, and that is - 'her'. She's his pronoun. They share a past, a long and intricate past which has weaved its way into their present. To move on, they must let go. But can two people so densely bound by history and unspoken feelings ever truly be apart?

Follow Palash's journey as he leads you through his tangled history with 'her'. From immature adolescence to regretful maturity, Palash's story grows and matures as he learns to navigate his relationship with 'her' and find his own path in life. He relates himself to the 'King of Spades' a rational man trying to relate to the 'Queen of Hearts'.

Told in a memoir-esque fashion, Dixy Gandhi crafts a narrative of heartbreak and longing, interweaving between memories and the present.

Will they finally find closure as they embark on their journey towards self-discovery?
