By the author of the international bestseller Evening Is The Whole Day   this novel set in
Malaysia will appeal to readers of Arundhati Roy and Kiran Desai    In what was once a Scottish
tea planter's mansion in the highlands of Peninsular Malaysia  all religions are one and race
is unheard of. That is  until the occupants of what is now known as the Muhibbah Centre for
World Peace are joined by Salmah  a Malay Muslim woman. "All are welcome here " they are
reminded by their spiritual leader  Cyril Dragon  who is ignoring news of the changing
political climate with its increasing religious intolerance. He is still trying to forget May
13  1969  when ethnic tensions boiled over into bloodshed. Tale of the Dreamer's Son guides us
from that fateful incident in Malaysian history to the present day. Throughout  Samarasan's
polyphonic  rambunctious prose brilliantly navigates the tug-of-war between ideals and reality.
