About the Book

A Song of Light is a novella inspired by Charles Dickens 'A Christmas Carol". It is a modern yarn about the festival of Diwali, also known as the festival of lights, celebrated annually in South Asia and 'little Indias' overseas. On the eve of a recent Diwali, (that glorious festival of Lights), the cantankerous and vainglorious moneylender, Salaram Baiman, comes face to face with a Shakespearean truth, to wit: "There is a divinity that shapes our ends... ." The fantastical events he experiences transforms his view of the world and of himself. That Diwali his feet are set upon a path that liberates him from his venial bondage to avarice and self-absorption. The Goddess Laxmi, the patron saint of Diwali along with her helpmates, illuminates his undestanding of the true significance of Diwali and the moral imperative of benevolence in a world that is disproportionately poor and disenfranchised.
