My Brother Tootoo

One summer holiday brings Murli to Mango Tree Lane an elusive outsider into the neighbourhood of grouchy Colonel Sinha, tight-fisted Rice Aunty and the snoopy Sharma Aunty - Menon Aunty duo. Twelve-year-old Rini and her little brother Tootoo are intrigued by the new boy and innocent games soon turn into dangerous ones as the trio begin to venture into territories once forbidden. Occasional glimpses into Rini’s diary look back at the haunting memories of events that escalate to a point of no return. This gripping, multi-layered story poignantly evokes the secrets that we hold and ultimately, share.
