About this Item
Light edge wear to jacket, signed 'To Peter and Rosemary, with very best wishes, Phil Whitaker August 1997' to the title page. Rajesh Despande, science teacher in the small Indian town of Nandrapur, is thrown into a frenzy of fantasy by the arrival from England of a beautiful young teacher at his school. India is just weeks away from a solar eclipse and Rajesh is perfectly placed to capitalize on this awe-inspiring event. He will bring science to the citizens of Nandrapur, dispel the myths and superstitions which surround the eclipse - and capture the heart of the beguiling young English teacher in the process. But Rajesh's wife realizes his adulterous intentions and is forced into a desperate attempt to save the marriage. She entreats the gods - and enlists the help of her mother - to try to bring a child to the barren union. But it is an encounter with a mysterious female teacher in a bookshop that sets in train a series of events which will change the marriage forever. Seller Inventory # 003219
