I imagined a game of dominoes, or the game we'd played when we were little-'hai sha, hui sha, we all fall down'
The year 2020 will forever be reported as the time when we all fell down. But it was also the year we all got back up and were forced to come together in a way we had never imagined before.
In this timely masterpiece, Paro Anand writes of despair, courage and hope. Through eighteen short stories, she introduces us to characters who feel familiar and their stories intimate.
From a mother and son looking to make ends meet as the lockdown brutally affects their lives to a housewife who's a victim of domestic abuse, from young keyboard wizards keen on making a difference to a home delivery executive who becomes an unlikely hero, this book unmasks the layers of the year that changed us all.
Paro Anand has written several acclaimed fiction titles including Wingless: A Fairly Weird Fairy Tale, I’m Not Butter Chicken, and No Guns at my Son’s Funeral, which was on the IBBY honour list 2004-05. She conducts creative writing, reading and discussion workshops with teachers and children, through her program, Literature in Action. She holds a world-record for helping children make the world’s longest newspaper.
