Unabashed and unapologetic, she is straight-forward and frank. Narrated by the son it is about trying to keep up with the mental anguish of the person you love the most. First published by a small press in India, Jerry Pinto's devastatingly original debut novel has already taken the literary world by storm. This is a charming little story that invites the reader into a world aching to be normal in spite of all the challenges it faces.
