Description
The book is entirely magical… the few, appropriately descriptive words feed the senses, yet leave room for the imagination to test its limits. It is a book that deals with a regular Indian way of life, told by an irregular little girl.
A story told from the wondrous eyes of an eight-year-old child. My Friend Sadhu Shiva transports the reader into a world of colourful comeos of Ayaji and her dramatics, of tiny Bandar with her toothy smile and hair-clips, of Colonel Sahib’s booming self, of Madrina and her ferocious affection and finally, of course, of fragile little Sheila and her miasmic friend, Sadhu Shiva.
