The Mountain of Light by Claire Allen
The Mountain of Light, a London Indian Restaurant, is Balu's great love, the delicious kulfis and dansaks he devises in its kitchen his sole connection to the land of his childhood. When a young woman, Sarah, rents the flat upstairs, she, her boyfriend Jude, and Hari, a waiter, begin to gather after hours to chat around Balu's tables, though Jude's jealousy of Hari threatens their circle. Meanwhile Jozef, an elderly Polish man, begins to reveal a heartbreaking story to Sarah, and so inspires a journey that will lead her to discover where -- and with whom -- she really belongs.
Claire Allen was born in Liverpool in 1970. She studied English and Theatre Studies at Warwick University and went on to do a postgraduate diploma in art history. Claire now lives in London and teaches English at The City Lit. THE MOUNTAIN OF LIGHT is her first novel.
