‘When Shadows Fall’ by Sita Brahmachari
Teenage fiction. It was ok.
We follow the story of Kai as tragedy after tragedy befalls him, beginning with the death of his baby sister, leading to drugs, crime and violence.
At the heart of the novel is a community that want to save their local ‘rec’ being built on by developers. Saving the ‘rec’ becomes a metaphor for all their struggles.
