1 Ruskin Bond’s Five
Bond, one of India’s best loved writers of books for young people, is moving into new territory: This collection of short stories is aimed at adults. In his new book, he talks about physical relationships, loneliness and desperation, about leprosy, about beautiful women facing big problems. It will be interesting to see what Bond, nature walker from Dehradun, a gifted writer with a knack for charming stories about innocence and small-town life, move out of his comfort zone and tackle adult
issues in Delhi.
