THE EAST INDIAN

Vikas Adam is an experienced narrator whose skill is on full display in this unique historical novel based on a real-life figure. "Tony" is an Indian boy who finds himself far from home in the American Colonies, where he is an indentured servant. Adam evokes a range of emotions as he presents this entertaining--and at times painful--story of a non-white young person's interactions with the New World. Evoking a range of emotions, Adam captures the range of Tony's adventures. He balances Tony's quiet inner monologue and the brash Europeans he encounters. Fans of international fiction, and those looking for something new in the historical genre, will fall in love with Tony and his narrator. M.R.
