The Thousand-Petalled Daisy
Bok av Norman Thomas
Injured in a riot while travelling in India, 17-year-old Michael Flower is given shelter by a doctor in a white house on an island in a river. A storm, a death and a funeral, the delights of first love and the beauty of the Indian landscape are woven into a narrative infused with offbeat humour and a delicate but intensely felt spirituality.
