Once, a summer (Paperback)

Paperback. Four boys. One summer. A memory that outlives it.Kodaikanal, 1990. The mist hasn't lifted off the lake yet, and already four boys are freewheeling down the ghat road with nine empty weeks ahead of them and nothing on their minds but adventure.They find it - past the ranger's hut, deep in the shola forest the old people won't name after dark. A summer of misty mornings and long rides becomes something else entirely once they sit down to a feast that isn't theirs. The price isn't money. It's years.To get their childhood back, the four of them have to earn it - one impossible task at a time, discovering things about themselves and each other they never set out looking for.Some summers end when the holidays do. This one doesn't. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
