Shrutidhora P Mohor has been publishing with Ukiyoto Publishing Company since November 2019. Apart from contributing to a large number of anthologies she has eight single titles with the publishing house. She is an author whose writings are reflections of some of the deepest thoughts, darkest thrills, and the most compelling ambivalences which reside in human hearts. Raising uncomfortable questions without necessarily providing answers to them and nesting matters of the heart within troubled socio-political contexts are typical of Mohor’s writings.
A student of Political Science, she has been pursuing the discipline as a profession for the last fifteen years in a college in Calcutta. Her academic background enables her to view societal issues with a distinct insight and in the recent past she has been assertively making a case for bridging the false hiatus commonly made between fiction writing as non-serious and academic writing as incomprehensible to the general reader. She actively engages in story-telling in class with considerable success.

Celebrated author bappaditya morena arrives on a long holiday at quiet and quaint Daman, a sleepy town on the Western coastline of India one summer many decades ago. He brings with himself the memory of a dormant but much-alive history of violence, exodus, exile and suffering, nothing of which can be overcome by mayurakshi Gupta, emerging into her own as an author out of the shadow of her mentor morena.
Love is inevitable between them, so is estrangement and bitterness, social awkwardness and emotional turbulence, and eventual sublimation and transcendence of it all. As literary craft and music fuse to take their love ahead, mayurakshi discovers over decades the unlikely ways in which her mentor’s inspiration can weave magic for her.
In addition to being a personal story of intimacy it is also a story of the history of the seromon community to which bappaditya belongs. The last gift is a story of intense intimacy, suppressed sexuality, turbulent memory, and restless desire, and the eventual victory of art and creativity over all else.
