The To-Let House: A Novel - Softcover

Set in Shillong, in north-east India, The To-Let House narrates Di, Addy, Kulay and Clemmie's tormented passage into adolescence. Framed by the region's own violent search for identity, the children's inner and outer worlds hold uncanny mirrors to each other, conjuring up a universe that is darkly unsettling and yet effervescent.
