Soft cover. Zustand: New. A man offering curses and prayers, gifts and threats to his favourite deity before embarking upon a day of thieving. A woman in a packed bus, desperate to get home before her clothes are soaked with menstrual blood, but also determined to save a seat for a fellow woman. A loyal, ageing party worker, hoping to finally contest an election, but discovering instead the worm in the apple of democracy.
