Masterfully evoking the breathtaking beauty of India, Manisha Jolie Amins lyrical debut novel follows a young boy whose life takes an unexpected turn when he is sent to live with a reclusive but renowned musician.Kalu picked up the flute by his side and started to play. The sound was deep and full, as if he were translating his thoughts into music. It stayed in the air like dust floating on the sunlight, and each note held the promise of something not quite spoken but maybe heard in the darkness of a dream.Abandoned as a young child, Kalu, a cheeky street kid, has carved out a life for himself in rural India. In the quiet village of Hastinapore, Kalu has also found friends: Bal, the solitary boy who tends the local buffaloes, and Malti, a gentle servant girl, who with her mistress, Ganga Ba, has watched over Kalu since he first wandered into the small town.One day, perched high in the branches of a banyan tree, Kalu chooses a leaf, rolls it tightly, and as hes done for as long as he can remember, blows through it. His pure, simple notes dance through the air and attract a traveling healer, whose interest will change Kalus life forever, setting him on a path he would never have dreamt possible and testing his belief in himself and his sense of identity.Rich in texture and atmosphere, Dancing to the Flute is a heartwarming story of a communitys joys and sorrows, the transformative powers of music, the many faces of friendship, and a boys journey, against all odds, to become a man.
