Steps in Darkness
Beero lives through a succession of days and events. His father gambles, his mother screams and gets hit by her husband, his sister flirts rather desperately. Beero searches for love and kindness in his strife-torn family. The spare delicacy of Vaid s prose illustrates a child s joy of play in fragile balance with the violence and poverty of his circumstances.

A peek into the life of a small town boy, daily squabbles and portrayal for a typical middle or lower middle class household in India. A decent read. too conversational for a short novel.
