Overview

In the Shadow of Crows is an inspirational account of a young man raised in the suburban comforts of Surrey, a widow ravaged by leprosy in the Eastern Himalaya, and the impact on them both as their worlds collide. When Bindra contracts leprosy she is driven from her home, even from the foothills in which she was born, due to the prejudice and ignorance of those with whom she lives. She finds herself on the Plains, away from all she has ever known, divided from the only language she is able to understand. As Bindra undertakes a seemingly impossible journey in search of understanding and peace, she loses all that has maintained her strength and sanity. She is eventually left languishing in a charitable compound, where the children of others affected by leprosy gradually restore her will to live. David is brought up speaking 'kitchen Urdu', due to his family s heritage in the Punjab during the Raj.
