Deewar mein ek khidki rehti thi
Sahitya Akademi Winner of 1999, Vinod Kumar Shukla's apparently slight novel reaches into the depth of feeling Raghuvir Prasad and his wife Sonsi have for one another and for the world of lower middle class neighbours among whom they belong.

But there is a magical place beyond the window which sustains Raghuvir Prasad's and Sonsi's spirit. This window lived in a wall.
