Imagine this: Picture a stunning coconut palm swaying gently in the warm breeze of a tropical night under a sky full of stars and the glow of the moon, far removed from the chill of Canada. White sands, the sound of waves breaking-the thought crosses your mind: what if this was home? What then? "After The Monsoon" reveals a rich tapestry of experiences. It narrates the early years in lush Kingston, Jamaica, a period of professional life in North Africa, and a reluctant acceptance of adulthood amidst a mysterious discovery of a skeleton in South Asia. This narrative unveils Mr. Chris, as termed by his Indian headmaster, on a quest to find his position in the world, his life's purpose, and some redemption from the haunting whispers and damaged voices that echo through his private nights of melancholy, quiet, and rage-filled with introspection and suppressed fury.
