Sixteen-year-old Rusty runs away from his strict English guardian’s house to rent a room on the roof in Dehradun and live with his Indian friends. In the process, he exchanges oppressive rules for joyful freedom and discovers a world of true friendship, innocent first love and a profound understanding of the self.
Set against the foothills of the Himalayas in post-Independence India, this special anniversary edition transforms Bond’s lyrical prose into an immersive visual journey.
Ideal for readers who love literary graphic novels, this collectible volume is both a gateway to Bond’s world and a tribute to a novel that has shaped generations.
