This is not a book about a dog.
Well, it is. But not only.
Biscuit is a dog. He is biscuit-colored, with floppy ears and a tail that tells the truth. He loves car rides, sun, and crumbs from a child's tiffin.
Every year, in India alone, lakhs of Biscuits are left on highways. Not because people are evil. Most people are not. They are tired, or moving, or they think someone else will take care of it.
This is a novel about what happens after the car goes around the bend.
It is about how a pet dog learns to be a street dog. How tricks stop working. How the ground is hard and the night is coldest at 3:17 AM. How you learn to be invisible.
That part is hard to read. I cried writing it.
But it is also about what happens after that.
It is about Kalu, a streetwise stray who teaches survival. About a three-legged cat who rules an alley. About two puppies who think your ears are chew toys. And about Sara, an eight-year-old girl who does not say "poor doggy." She just sits down in the dust next to him and opens her tiffin.
Half for you, half for me.
A heartwarming and emotional literary novel, Biscuit is a story of abandonment and survival, of learning to belong when you have no home. It is for anyone who has ever loved a dog, and for anyone who has ever felt invisible.
Pick up Biscuit today, and sit down in the dust with him for a little while.
