When Manu came into the world, the family astrologer told his mother that he was a boy gifted with extraordinary vision. But he said no more, even though he could see that this boy would go far and wide-and that there was something unsettled about his life. He could also see that the boy was endowed with powers of looking into the past and into the future. Some event would bring out Manu's gift, but it was unclear when it would occur. Manu settles into living a normal life in rural India, navigating changing social attitudes and steady traditions. As he gets older, he realizes that as the eldest child, the family's fortunes hinge on him. When he gets a job at a factory, he goes from a boy to a man in one bound. But then something transforms his life and destiny, and he embarks on a journey of self-discovery that brings him ecstasy, agony, hope, and despair. Join Manu on a journey symbolic of the one that we all go through, one that brings him tantalizingly close to everlasting love and happiness in The Princess of the Wind and the Son of Man.
