The boy, Mukunda, spends his time as a servant in the house or reading the books of Mrs Barnum, an Anglo-Englishwoman whose life was saved long ago by Bakul's grandmother, by now demented by loneliness.Mrs Barnum gives Mukunda the run of her An Atlas of Impossible Longing - Anuradha Roy od authora Anuradha Roy a nakladatelství za skvělé ceny na e-shopu Martinus.cz
