In a sleepy village in Goa, a child grows up in a house whose windows are
never opened. The door is often locked as well, and no visitors ever come
by to meet the family. Vipin Parob has a strange and solitary childhood,
dominated by his overbearing and cruel father. In this home, Vipin grows up
friendless, till he begins to read voraciously. Now Vipin knows more about the
world-its mysteries and cruelties, its wonder and beauty. What he doesn't
get to know, is love.
Vipin steps into high school and becomes a reluctant friend to two girls-
Chitra and Fatima. Chitra sees the laughter hidden deep within him. Fatima
brings chaos and joy with her, and into Vipin's life. And slowly he finds he
has an identity separate from his cold and unloving family. But can he ever
overcome the loneliness that has seeped into him? When the time comes, will
he know how to give and receive love?
From the acclaimed Jnanpith Award-winning novelist, comes a work of
unflinching honesty and startling truths. Filled with unforgettable characters
written from a depth of understanding, this translation by Jerry Pinto throbs
with life in all its bewildering glory.
