Love, loss and the void that pervades all are captured in a meditative tone in 'Mandra', which refers to the lower octave in Indian classical music. Somewhere in the novel, there is a message that there no cure for human being who always lacks something (now, remember Lacanian 'subject') as long as s/he can't overcome the 'I' within. It's available in English too. But I'm not sure you will get the rhythm of lower octave there. Try anyway.
