by Ardashir Vakil (Author)
A bitter-sweet funny novel about a movie-mad boy growing up in Bombay, discovering girls, food and of course the cinema - all the time under the watchful eye of his outrageously demanding mother. His idyllic world is brought to a sudden end by the death of his father - and his mother's new relationship.
