Synopsis

Injured in a riot while travelling in India, 17-year-old Michael Flower is given shelter by a doctor in a white house on an island in a river. A storm, a death and a funeral, the delights of first love and the beauty of the Indian landscape are woven into a narrative infused with offbeat humour and a delicate but intensely felt spirituality.

Media Reviews
'This novel, both rhapsody and lament, is superb'--Independent on Sunday 'Gentle and mysterious ... a classic rites-of-passage story with a rare spiritual dimension that should have a wide appeal' Independent 'Do not be fooled by its humour, accessibility and tenderness: this novel is serious and seriously good. It is beautiful, thoughtful and flamboyantly original'--Sara Maitland
