The I-Land  (English, Paperback, Pedwal Chinmay)

"Do you like changes? Vihaan once hated them, but the thing is, it doesn’t matter whether you like them or hate them, THEY HAPPEN. You can’t stop them, they are inevitable. But you can do one thing, i.e. you can change your perception about them. So, see how Vihaan does that. He is timid, autistic, kind of introvert and he has seen life changing, getting better for good. Sometimes his life has shocked him, whilst sometimes his life has delighted him. It was quite a smooth sailing for him till he was fifteen, but it all changes when his parents pass in a car accident and slowly, the past of his parents calls for him. Out of nowhere his maternal uncle, Mr. Conrad Kretinsky shows up with his legal custody, as he was the only living person who happened to be his close relative. Vihaan’s father was from India and his mother was from Prague. Their marriage was frowned upon by both of their families. Slowly, the links between them and their families were ceased. The story unfolds when Vihaan gets to meet his ‘new’ family in Prague and how he adjusts to the drastic changes that take place in his life, as he is a total alien towards the Culture of Prague. His new family is willing to give him all the love he deserves and it’s slowly, that he begins to realize that. This story is about SITUATIONS that changed him. This story is about FAMILY that he loses and finds. This story is about LOVE that he experiences, which makes him mature. This story is about the one CHOICE he makes, that changes his life FOREVER."
