Waiting For Godalming
£7.19
The Jehovahs have always been a tight-knit family & one of the biggest names in universal property development. The driving force behind them is the old boy, God, although in recent millennia he has ceased to play an active role & has become something of a recluse.

Now tragedy has struck the House of Jehovah.

Waiting For Leah
£7.19
It is September 1944; the war is going badly for the Germans, & they are in a hurry to complete their 'final solution'.

Waiting For The
Barbarians
£7.19
For decades the Magistrate has run the affairs of a tiny frontier settlement, ignoring the impending war between the barbarians & the Empire, whose servant he is. But when the interrogation experts arrive, he is jolted into sympathy with the victims & into a quixotic act of rebellion which lands him in prison, branded as an enemy of the state. Waiting for the Barbarians is an allegory of oppressor & oppressed. Not just a man living through a crisis of conscience in an obscure place in remote times, the Magistrate is an analogue of all men living in complicity with regimes that ignore justice & decency. ...

Waiting For The
Mahatma
£7.19
The first that indolent young Sriram knows about Mahatma Ghandi's visit to Malgudi is when a collection box is waved beneath his nose by the most beautiful girl he has ever seen. The vision's name is Bharato. Capable & quick-witted, her scorn for her gauche but ardent admirer is almost equal to her devotion to the Mahatma.
