註釋

"Injured in a riot while travelling in India, seventeen-year-old Michael Flower is given shelter by a doctor in a white house on an island in a river. There accompanied by his alter ego (his glove-puppet Mickey Mack), he meets Om Prakash and his family, a tribe of holy monkeys, and Lila, the beautiful daughter of a diplomat. Unknown to him the house is also the home of a holy woman. When she grants him an audience, Michael unwittingly incurs the jealousy of her devotee, Hari, and violence unfolds. A storm, a death and a funeral, the delights of first love and the beauty of the Indian landscape are woven into a narrative infused with a distinctive, offbeat humour and a delicate but intensely felt spirituality."--BOOK JACKET.
