Synopses & Reviews
Riddled by an intense fear of his bizarre secret being discovered, the narrator of Nalda Said grows up in the strange seclusion of a shoddy caravan with his Aunt Nalda, whose own colorful storytelling leaves him perpetually trapped between fantasy and reality. Nalda's nephew eventually finds work as a hospital gardener where, perhaps for the first time, he finds true friendship and begins to realize that his dark secret has been suffocating what hope he had of ever leading a normal life.
Nalda Said is a disturbing, compelling and brilliantly crafted tale of one man's pained anxiety and desperate search for his dream -- to live a normal life.
