Description
Set against the backdrop of India's transition from colonial rule, Staying On is a poignant and humorous portrait of life in a small hill town.
Tusker and Lily Smalley have chosen to stay in Pangkot, a place where eccentric inhabitants and archaic rituals coexist with the remnants of a bygone era. However, their peaceful existence is threatened by the imposing presence of their landlady, Mrs Bhoolabhoy.
This unique and engrossing novel explores the complexities of love, loyalty, and identity as the old world gives way to new. A deeply moving and thought-provoking read, Staying On offers a fascinating glimpse into a pivotal moment in history.
