Looking for safe harbour, livelihood, and a new place to call home. Communities congregated around churches and markets, sharing lord and land with the native East Indians. The young among them were nudged on to the path of marriage, procreation and godliness, though noble intentions were often ambushed by errant love and plain and simple lust. As in the story of Annette and Benji (and Joe) or Michael and Merlyn (and Ellena). Lovers and haters, friends and family, married men and determined singles, churchgoers and abstainers, Bombay BalchaÌo is a tangled tale of ordinary lives - of a woman who loses her husband to a dockyard explosion and turns to bootlegging, a teen romance that drowns like a paper boat, a social misfit rescued by his addiction to crosswords, a wife who tries to exorcise the spirit of her dead mother-in-law from her husband, a rebellious young woman who spurns true love for the abandonment of dance. Ordinary, except when seen through their own eyes. Then, it's legend. Set in Cavel, a tiny Catholic neighbourhood on Bombay's D'Lima Street, this delightful debut novel is painted with many shades of history and memory, laughter and melancholy, sunshine and silver rain. 650 0 $a Indic fiction (English) $y 21st century. 650 7 $a Manners and customs. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01007815 651 0 $a Mumbai (India) $x Social life and customs $v Fiction. 651 7 $a India $z Mumbai. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01802300 655 2 $a Fictional Work $0 (DNLM)D022922 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Novels. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01921742 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Romans. $2 rvmgf $0 (CaQQLa)RVMGF-000000475 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231219011915.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6C8879D09E3C11EE84E191EF36ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
