The Millennium Child And Other Stories

The stories included in this collection are characterised by a style of narration that is simple and straightforward, delineation of unforgettable characters and skilful construction of plots some of which have the potential of being developed as novels but have been deftly abridged into short stories like trees grown as bonsai. Pathos and humour, frustration and hope all merge into the fabric of these stories, making the reader feel that this world is not such a bad place to live in.
