The first that young Sriram knows of Gandhi's visit to Malgudi is when a beautiful girl waves a collection box under his nose. His admiration for the quick-witted Bharati leads him to leave Malgudi and join the Quit India campaign, only to find his convictions tested by the rigours of imprisonment.

Review:
"R. K. Narayan's novels are like a box of Indian sweets: a highly-coloured container conceals a range of delectable treats, all different in a subtle way, but each one clearly from the same place. There are fourteen novels in the oeuvre-enough to create a world. Enthusiasts of his work will read them all and return to them time and again. The busy, or the less committed, may open the box and take out one at random-it does not really matter which order one reads them in. But be warned: the consumption of one leads to a strong craving for more" (Alexander McCall Smith, author of The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency series)
From the Back Cover:
The first that indolent young Sriram knows about Mahatma Ghandi's visit to Malgudi is when a collection box is waved beneath his nose by the most beautiful girl he has ever seen. The vision's name is Bharato. Capable and quick-witted, her scorn for her gauche but ardent admirer is almost equal to her devotion to the Mahatma. Yet that is how Sriram leaves Malgudi to become a passionate apostle of the Quit India campaign - only to find his convictions tested by the rigours of a prison cell...

'Distinctive and buoyant comedy' New Statesman

No writer is more deceptively casual, or less fussed about the Eternal Verities or more unerring in arriving by delightful detours at his destination - which is seldom a terminus because life keeps bobbing on' Guardian

A quintessentially Indian blend of shrewdness and the simplistic, of spirituality and materialism ... The characters are lifted off the page' Birmingham Post
