'India has found its Ferrante' - Niven Govinden ------ 'And I
struggle to find my place in this dark novel. I yearn for passion
and despair - for that is what makes good literature - while
Ishwari seeks a life of joy for herself and her son.' ------ A
powerful novel about a woman who runs away from home, seeking to
free herself from the shackles of society and familial attachments,
and instead devote her attentions to writing a novel. When she
realises that her five year old son Roo has followed her, Ishwari
struggles with her identity as a mother and the responsibilities
that brings, versus the guilty knowledge that she cannot want her
own child when his existence requires her to suppress her own
dreams. ------ Ishwari and Roo wander the streets at night, looking
for a place to stay, until an elderly caretaker takes pity on them
and offers them an empty room on the terrace of a guest house.
Ishwari gets work as a caregiver to the handsome gentleman who
lives next door, while Roo, who is lame, spends all day locked up
in the room on the roof. Pulsating with raw energy, Abandon gives
voice to the perpetual conflict between life and art.
