10316--1st published in India as Past Continuous in 2007. Ritwik Ghosh, twenty-two and recently orphaned, finds the chance to start a new life when he arrives in England from Calcutta. But to do so, he must not only relive his entire past but also make sense of his relationship with his mother-scarred, abusive and all-consuming. But Oxford holds little of the salvation Ritwik is looking for.
