Room on the Roof
Room on the Roof: 60th Anniversary Edition | Ruskin Bond
A CLASSIC COMING-OF-AGE STORY WHICH HAS HELD GENERATIONS OF READERS SPELLBOUND Rusty, a sixteen-year-old Anglo-Indian boy, is orphaned, and has to live with his English guardian in the claustrophobic European part in Dehra Dun. Unhappy with the strict ways of his guardian, Rusty runs away from home to live with his Indian friends. Plunging for the first time into the dream-bright world of the bazaar, Hindu festivals and other aspects of Indian life, Rusty is enchanted . . . and is lost forever to the prim proprieties of the European community. This special edition marks the 60th anniversary of this award-winning book, written when the author was just seventeen. Poignant, heart-warming and an absolute classic, this book is forever a joy to read.

It is a quick read and I like the depth of the characters, which is displayed by just a few words. It's full of emotions. Freinds that are always trying to help you and the sense of maturity that dawns upon you when you get to the real world.....Ruskin Bond always has that sweet spot in my heart, for it is his books that drew me towards reading.

Day 2 of #adventrecommends

This is a comfort read for me. The semi-autobiographical story of a 16 year old Anglo-Indian boy growing up in a small Indian hill station. A heart warming coming-of-age story of friendship, identity and the little joys of everyday life set in the lap of The Himalayas.
