    About this ebook


    The boarding school is closed for vacations. Two girls, the last two, wait nervously for their parents to come and take them back home. One of the girls, now an adult who has lost those parents, receives an odd phone call, which brings back memories of that troubling wait. Mridula Koshy's captivating story teases out the particular kind of heaviness of the heart that only a child can feel.
