Synopsis In this delightful collection of short stories, we meet an international cast of characters: the ageing and unsuccessful poet Sufi whose life and literary views have been overtaken by rap artists, celebrity-hungry American students, Indian archaeologists and other hustlers, Violet his patient and abandoned wife who sets out on her own voyage of discovery or William the White Rastafarian. We meet London`s Indian gigolos, their American victims or predators, Mr. Balkar the small town maths teacher turned cheese impresario, the international business set through their e-mails and we encounter a tragedy of environmental good intentions. Relationships fold and unfold, faith and the seventh commandment are tested and broken. The stories, embracing modern dilemmas are about love, lust, friendship, betrayal and the timeless ways of the human heart.
