Description

The Gateway of India, built in the early twentieth century, served as a ceremonial entrance to the city of Bombay. Today, it remains the city’s most famous landmark. This collection of three linked short stories provides a gateway into the lives of ordinary Bombay citizens. A doctor and his wife decide to leave the city for retirement in a coastal town but soon face choices that threaten to disrupt their idyllic existence. A doctor’s assistant loses his job and tries to make a living as a bus conductor with disastrous consequences. A police inspector’s top-secret assignment promises easy money—if he can complete the task. Each story in this collection is a vignette that illuminates the challenges and triumphs of life in India’s most cosmopolitan city. "With the essence of Bombay (currently called Mumbai), considered one of the wealthiest cities in India, [the book] gave me a view of the other parts of the city and those surrounding it where everyday people live. Each story carried its own weight, but Doyle helped to make a fluid transition from one story to the next."--Vernita Naylor, for Readers' Favorite Keywords: bombay stories, short stories, mumbai india, indian authors, indian fiction, indian writers, multicultural fiction
