My Time in the Town

There is something incredibly charming and wonderful about Ruskin Bonds portrayal of small-town life. It is a portal into a world of eccentric, odd but, above all else, kind-hearted and warm people who live alongside the natural and historical beauty found in these towns.
In My Time in the Town, Bond brings together a collection of his best writing on small-town India, in all its nuanced yet simple and unhurried glory. With these stories, Bond shows us the irresistible warmth and appeal of small-town life while also exposing the often dark, superstitious, ghostly or even just politically corrupt aspects of it. This book promises to be a journey into the soulful and laid-back simplicity of small towns!
