A searing lens of a family as it attempts to cope with

domestic life in the diaspora. From the backwater of

Basmeer’s birth town as he copes with his adolescent

inhibitions and through to his incompatible marriage,

then to his eleven-year estrangement after he sires and rears

five children who move to the diaspora with their mother,

and with his blessings. In richly textured prose, Basmeer’s

private moments are palpable as he reunites with his family

only to find himself struggling to understand the shift in

their personalities. His struggles are unending even in his

73rd year as he walks out of his home for the sixth time

after years of miscommunication and abuse.
