★★★★★ His adolescence, friendship and first love, like any stories of this kind, but the sense of not belonging was too real and obvious, he really did not belong. A bittersweet love for his home, India.
🔽 Book review and notes 🔽
First long novel I read of Ruskin Bond, and his first novel when he was still a teenager.
It talks of his own youth, of being a white English boy raised in India and not belonging anywhere.
His adolescence, friendship and first love, like any stories of this kind, but the sense of not belonging was too real and obvious, he really did not belong.
Bittersweet, under the Indian sun the boy is undeniably in love with India, his home.
