Summary

“With his mother’s business in shambles, and an untraceable accountant who has disappeared with their life savings, the piece of land in India willed to Ash by his estranged paternal grandfather is an unexpected but welcomed boon. Or so he thought. Delhi is nothing that Ash, a South African Indian “born free” from an upper middle-class background, could have been prepared for. With not being able to speak the language nor understand the culture, while he may look the part, he is very much an outsider in the crowd. The plan was simple though. Keep his head down, get the paperwork done, sell the land, and get out with a bank account bursting at the seams. But it turned out that India had other plans for Ash. Between bribing a government official, getting lost in the middle of the night in a strange city, finding connections with people in the most unlikely places, riding his first motorcycle, and falling in love, Ash’s journey evolves into one of self-discovery and enlightenment. Based in a dichotomy of ancient existing side-by-side with modern, and having the ability to view all that is taken for granted by its inhabitants with fresh eyes, Ash finds that there truly is good in the bad, and vice versa. Inheritance is a coming-of-age novel based on the search for belonging and finding one’s place no matter how familiar or foreign it may be.
