Description

It is late 1970, and time for Adam to leave the mountain retreat where he had settled following his overland journey from England to India.
He must now contemplate the return via the same precarious route, made more so by the coming of winter.
He is hoping to be re-united with Belinda, from whom he had set off months earlier with her blessing.
But, circumstances intervene and he finds himself in the heart of Bombay, where he brushes with the criminal underworld and a new-found lover.
By way of corrupt officials and the funeral pyres of Benares, he eventually starts the long journey back to Europe and the realisation of his greatest fears.
Ultimately, many years later, India beckons again, raising the spectre of Adam's past and a final decision that has to be made
