For Raman the sign painter, life is a familiar and satisfying
routine. A man of simple, rational ways, he lives with his pious
aunt and prides himself on his creative work. But all that changes
when he meets Daisy, a thrillingly independent young woman who
wishes to bring birth control to the area. Hired to create signs
for her clinics, Raman finds himself smitten by a love he cannot
understand, much less avoid-and soon realizes that life isn't so
routine anymore. Set in R. K. Narayan's fictional city of Malgudi,
"The Painter of Signs" is a wry, bittersweet treasure.
