Santosh travels alone from Mumbai, where
he lives with his mother, to Kolkata, on holiday. But he has secret
plans to look for his father whom he barely remembers. The train ride
brings him into contact with people quite outside his sheltered world
— an eventful prelude to another, deeper, journey.
With a refreshingly light and honest touch, Just a Train Ride Away
explores the emotional dilemma of young boy who craves the space for
both parents in his life and faces the bitter-sweet reality of
estrangement and belonging. A short, quick-read, coming of age novel.
