See all formats and editions
A one-armed Goan school teacher takes on a school bomber, a gay Bombay bootlegger faces the advances of a lecherous unsavoury politician, an unscrupulous half Armenian Indian heiress plots her future and a fake sadhu preaches salvation… these are just a few of the assortment of characters brought to life in this engaging collection of short stories inspired by India.
“Vijay Peter Misra writes with grace and humor. Writing as smooth and effortlessly as a stroll on the beach… but with a twist. Every character, setting and plot wraps the reader in wonder and surprise, leaving a satisfaction as lasting as a first kiss. The reader will want more.” Rex Paul Martin, author of “Kin” and “Dogs tell their stories”

Thirteen gentle and beautifully written stories, yet not so sweet that you have to go and brush your teeth after reading them.

The author takes us on a delightful journey into some intriguing situations and outcomes. Many of these are set in India. The stories usually have a 'twist in the tale' to look forward to. The detail around the story is well researched and brings the characters to life. A thoroughly enjoyable read.

Bought this and loved it. Nice little short story chapters, very entertaining with a great insight to other cultures. Written with humour and sympathy, have bought many more as gifts and a friend for a book club.
