Bell Boy by James Hamilton-Paterson

Set in the imaginary Far Eastern holy city of Malomba, this is the story of the bohemian Hemony family and Laki, the shrewd and winning bell-boy of the title. The tragi-comic story of their mutual exploitation involves, amongst other things, financial extortion and psychic-surgery.
James Hamilton-Paterson is one of Britain's most distinguished-and reclusive-writers. A travel writer, memoirist, poet, and award-winning novelist, Hamilton-Paterson is also an accomplished musician. His novel Gerontius won a Whitbread Prize and his many books include the bestselling Empire of the Clouds, Marked for Death and Music: Stories. He now lives in Austria.
