Synopsis

Love and hate. Secrets and lies. Innocence and betrayal. Are we all just the sum of our conflicts?

A nine-year old girl stumbles upon a terrible secret, a young maidservant is trapped in drudgery, children bear witness to adult transgressions, outcasts of society scramble to find a place for themselves.

These are six captivating short stories that take you on an Indian Odyssey. From the North to the South, from the rich to the poor, from children to adults, these tales traverse innocence and experience and the innate tragicomedy of life itself. The breathtaking and varied tableau of the Indian subcontinent is just as much a character in the stories, as the protagonists themselves.

Prepare to be immersed in and become one with each of the characters, as they offer you a glimpse into a life and a landscape far removed from your own. Prepare to journey into a foreign terrain where heat and dust, passions and secrets, beget unforgettable narratives with themes universal and timeless.

★★★★★
A real gem of a book, beautifully written, and full of surprises! It draws you in, with the wonderful scenes, through various lives in India. I didn’t want this book of short stories to end, left me wanting more.

★★★★★
The stories are told from the point of view of varied characters; young and old, male and female, rich and poor, accepted and outcast. The full gamut of character traits are explored. Manco’s people are greedy, innocent, ruthless, selfish, humble, lustful, and indifferent. They are all human in their own way and brought to life by the author’s gorgeous prose.

★★★★★
This author reveals some beautiful writing in these character driven stories based in India, mainly in the domestic sphere that keeps the tension up throughout and concludes with plot twists that satisfy to the very last sentence.
