Book Three of The Five Wounds

About All the Summers at Once

For forty years Prem Babu made certain that other people’s words arrived. One letter did not, and he is the reason it did not. Now, with ten months left and a house gone quiet, he sets out to find the child that letter was addressed to, who is a grown man somewhere and does not know he was ever written to. What Prem Babu learns on the way is that a wrong address, maintained long enough and with enough care, becomes a kind of love, and that it still has to be answered for.

With Sudha, Dr Khanna, Prem Babu, Divya, Ashu.

By Manu Vishranti. Paperback from Walnut Publication, 170 pages, ISBN 978-93-6926-310-3, 336 rupees on Amazon and Flipkart. The book's own page, with its people and scenes.

    How do I pay?

    By UPI, with any UPI app. Press a price; on a phone your UPI app opens, on a computer a QR code appears to scan. Payments are handled by Razorpay, so the site never sees your bank details.

    Will it open on my other phone?

    Can I keep my place, or bookmark a page?

    Is there a membership?

    Yes.

Each is one UPI payment and nothing renews by itself. The Year pass also lets you keep one whole book for good. See manuvishranti.com/membership.
