Notes In 'Connectivity' a retired bureaucrat's telephone line is accidentally connected to that of a grieving man's; while a heart surgeon helps his patient across the great abyss in 'Song without End'. The skilful grooming of a poet is described in 'A Lane in Lucknow'; and a senile old nawab finds himself a stranger to an altered world in 'The Taste of Almonds'. In 'Through the Looking Glass' a man losing his sight finds he can get to the heart of all the books in his library by an inexplicable miracle; and in 'Play' the roles an actor enacts are a source of important life lessons. Song without End and Other Stories is a collection of fifteen captivating short stories by Neelum Saran Gour that amuse and absorb by their lively engagement with people; places and ideas in an unforgettable way. Funny; humane and culturally vibrant; these tales portray characters who are challenged by life and who arrive at their own individual truths. [goodreads]
