Synopsis (Credit: Back cover)
In a house on Calcutta Street, lit by the half-light of a yellow street lamp, lies a baby, one day old, wrapped in its hospital towel. In the next room sits a man, all alone, writing.
Who is this man, at once frightened and determined? What is he writing? Where has the baby come from and where will it go? Tonight, these questions will be answered when the man unravels the dark secrets he has carried all his life.
Shortlist: Commonwealth Writers' Best First Book 2000.
(Bought second-hand at Help the Rural Child Charity Bookshop, Victoria Road, Mowbray.)
If one reads a lot, it is a special pleasure to pick up a book and realise within the first few pages that this is "something different".
The writing style is fresh and interesting, allowing readers to find and fit together the pieces of the puzzle, while submerging themselves in the atmosphere of Calcuttan life.
An excellent debut.
