Home As The Birds Fly  (English, Hardcover, Cindy Pereira)

In ‘Home As The Birds Fly,’ the author allows the protagonist, Doug Geoghegan, a young professor of English at a junior college in Bangalore, to narrate the story of his life in his own way. He writes about his boyish and passionate love for one woman with an agenda of her own and his fondness for another, his childhood friend who slowly drifted away from him. He sometimes quotes from an old diary, jumping forward, backwards, and then forward again, narrating his memories as they come to him. ‘Home As The Birds Fly’ is a love story about a young man who describes his journey back home, back to the girl he could never stop loving. But who is this woman? Is she the one with the red hair and aqua-blue eyes? Or is she the one who, in truth, was crazy for him? And then, after all the years of separation, does he go back home to her at last?
