On The Banks of Connolly Canal  (Paperback, P. J. Thobias)

"Connolly Canal meandered along the edge of the paddy fields of Korattur: On a stormy night, Lona, a fugitive, wandered into Ouseppetian's house. On that fateful night, Ouseppettan suffered a stroke and became paralysed. David, his son found himself totally ill equipped to take the reins of the household and Lona walked into that void. In course of time, true colours of Lona were revealed. Lona's greed for wealth prevented him from handing over the parcel of land bequeathed to the church by his father In an attempt. In get even with the church, he forced his son Cherian, to desert his co-actors from the stage play on the sodality day in the church Cherian became a pariah among his friends. The once iconic youth in the village became a toral recluse. He took to drugs and gambling, which ended up in a prolonged incarceration. Attempts were made by his brother-in-law to rehabilitate han, all of which ended up in a much worse fiasco. Cherry took into his heart to wreck vengeance on his brother-in-law for not continuing to help him. The brother in law had a renal failure and underwent a kidney transplantation. Donors were hard to come by, but out of the blue arrived an unsolicited donor asking for no money nor reward. Who was the donor? Would friendship, good will and love endure the rest of time?"
