Shillong times: a story of friendship and fear
2018, Speaking Tiger Books
in English
- "When fourteen-year-old Debojit Dutta meets the slightly older Clint Eastwood Lyngdoh in his maths tuition classes, he is wary of his cigarette-smoking, whisky-swilling ways. Besides, Debu has only recently escaped a bunch of local ruffians who wanted him to 'go back home to Bangladesh'. But Debu is unable to resist being friends with Clint. For, in return for doing his maths homework, Clint introduces him to a completely new life: the heady charms of Kalsang, the Chinese restaurant forbidden by Debu's mother; the revolutionary sounds of Pink Floyd; and most importantly, the coolest, prettiest girl in town--Audrey Pariat. Audrey loves maths and detective stories, just like Debu, and does not make him feel awkward or exotic. Together, the three of them look set to embark on many adventures. But when tensions between the Khasi and Bengali communities boil over, Shillong becomes a battlefield--old neighbours become outsiders and the limits of friendship are challenged."--Page 4 of cover.
