Description

Chotu was born in a lane that the world had almost forgotten—a place of tin roofs, open drains, and relentless struggle. Life was harsh, and the world around him saw only poverty, hunger, and despair. But Chotu was different. Gifted with intelligence, courage, and an unbreakable spirit, he dared to dream beyond the narrow confines of his slum.

Shadows of the Lane is a modern reimagining of Premchand's classic Kafan, bringing its timeless themes of survival, morality, and human resilience into the twenty-first century. Follow Chotu as he navigates the harsh realities of urban India—facing prejudice, loneliness, and the stark contrast between wealth and deprivation.

This novel is more than a story of hardship; it is a celebration of quiet courage, the bonds of family, and the power of hope. It is perfect for readers of contemporary Indian literature, social realism, and stories that illuminate the lives of the marginalized.

Discover a world you may have overlooked and witness a boy who refuses to be invisible. Shadows of the Lane is a tale that stays with you long after the last page is turned.
