Sequel to Half a Life.
Willie Chandran feels as though the life he lives is not his own. When he moves to Berlin, his listlessness washes away in a flood of encouragement from his radically political sister. Inspired, he joins an underground liberation movement in India in an attempt to break the chains shackling the lower castes. But after years of revolution and incarceration, he grows disillusioned and returns to England, still hoping to find his true self.
A powerful tale of the search for identity, Magic Seeds emphatically reminds us why Naipaul is an icon of modern literature.
