Coming Round the Mountain: In the Year of Independence

<p><i><b>'It was 1947 and life was about to change quite dramatically for most of us'</b></i></p><p>Thirteen-year-old Ruskin is back at school doing what he loves-reading goal-keeping spending time with his friends and eating lots of jalebis. But things seem to be rapidly changing all around him. Whispers of a partition haunt the corridors of his school. Does the formation of a new independent India mean saying goodbye to old friends-and with it the shenanigans they got up to? </p><p>On the heels of <i>Looking for the Rainbow</i> and <i>Till the Clouds Roll By</i> <i> Coming Round the Mountain</i> is yet another look at the past in particular one memorable year 1947 during which a lot happened to Ruskin and those around him. It is a fitting finale to a journey down memory lane one about accepting change and finding hope in the unknown days to come.</p>
