In God’s Own Country, a democratically elected ruler metamorphosed into a despot. Individuals and society lost their dignity, freedom, and power. Flatterers emerged in large numbers. The media prostrated before the autocrat, refusing to see the anguish and death. To derive pleasure and bust tension, the dictator tortured beggars, migrant labourers and nomads by punching their faces in his secret torture chamber. History haunted him because he was a rootless vagabond, and the truth shattered his ego. Four women dared to challenge him. The story delves into democracy, the rule of law, moral ambiguity, human evil, and responsibility. Narratives incrusted with symbolism and metaphor vividly express the intricate terrains of the human psyche and deep fissures in society.

Finding Neema is the singular story of an autistic boy of Nepali?Tibetan ethnicity, brought up by the author and her Indian husband. It recounts the couple?s unplanned adoption of Neema, the son of their maid, Poonam; their efforts to have his autism diagnosed and treated; and Neema?s emergence into adulthood as a valuable, though still dependent, human being. Delving into Neema?s tormented early life and background, the book touches upon some of the more lurid aspects of developing world poverty and introduces us to an assorted cast of characters ? some appealing and some appalling, but all of them colourful. Important too are the insights into autism which emerge from the writing. Autism has become a burning issue of our times on account of its burgeoning incidence, and of the many controversies surrounding it, but there is very little writing on the subject outside the boundaries of the developed world. Narrating Neema?s story with compassion, frankness and humour and interweaving it with reminiscences of her own unusual marriage and life, Juliet Reynolds fills that gap.
