Who are the mysterious children who meet up periodically to play dazzling, almost magical football? Why do they never seem to age – and why do they turn up not only in different places but in different decades, sometimes different centuries? And who is the boy with the mysterious hawk-like eyes who wanders the ages without ever getting any older? This intriguing work of imagination follows the subtle link between a group of youngsters, a football and the passage of time.

Throughout her eighteen years, Sathi has carried the burden of her grief and guilt over the death of her own mother while giving birth to her. But then she starts investigating – and unearths hidden documents that suggest her mother did not die in childbirth after all. This shocking discovery sends Sathi to India, the land of her forefathers, on a trail which opens up a world of intrigue she had no idea existed. What secrets are her family keeping from her? What is she to make of the charming but infuriating Zakiy, who is not quite the simple young man he claims to be? And what really happened to her beloved Amma? This page-turner of a story from a talented young novelist is a wonderful read from start to finish. To be continued in the next instalment of the Prism of Truth trilogy, Doves in Flight.
