Description
Swaminathan, a ten-year-old boy, lives in a time of great change. The British rulers who have shaped his life are beginning to lose their hold, and the boy is struggling to understand the implications. For Swami, cricket practice is a priority, but the stirrings of independence are hard to ignore. As the country prepares for its struggle for freedom, Swaminathan's world is turned upside down. His family and friends are caught between their loyalty to the British and their desire for independence. The boy's own sense of identity is tested as he navigates this uncertain time. This novel, first published in 1957, offers a poignant and thought-provoking portrayal of life in India during a period of great upheaval.
