विनायक

Vinayak has taught for twelve years at a Bombay college, where his office window looks out over the sea. He has just come back from a year in Wales, working with Margaret on a project dear to them both, and has given up the chance to stay on so as not to lose the headship he long coveted. Now fifty-seven, three years from retirement, he broods over ambition that came too late: his wife Malati has found her true calling in Bombay and will not leave, and both sons are about to fly abroad. The novel extends the author's earlier portrait of middle-class families from Almora.
