Chaitalee Ghosalkar's Reviews > Vagrants in the Valley

This sequel to The Room on The Roof takes time to get you to like it. For one, there are no affable friends like Somi, Ranbir, etc. who brought Rusty out of his loneliness and introduced him to the joys of the Bazaar. However, we do have an interesting range of characters, including Kishen who's drastically different from the earlier book.

There's a lot of moving around and less of Dehra, but you see Rusty becoming a man each day in the book, and that's something.
