Exquisite Indian Short Stories.
These beautifully crafted stories give us fragments of Indian lives, all linked by family or friendship or just sheer coincidence, and give us a poignant reminder of how even the smallest event can cause the greatest effect.
A young boy is ready to follow in his father's footsteps and enter the priesthood; orphaned Anna goes to live with her uncle and his Italian wife in Rome; a doctor meets a little girl whose mother has run away, and then, many years later meets the mother, but cannot bear to share with her his knowledge of her daughter.
