Review of Should We Fall Behind by award winning author Preti Taneja.
'Duggal writes about the devestation of vulnerable lives with all the hard-eyed clarity of WILLIAM TREVOR, and as much literary heart as ROHINTON MISTRY - SHOULD WE FALL BEHIND deeply inhabits its world but wears its craft so lightly - it is beautifully observed, suffused with inner-city melancholy and shot through with hope that can only come from random encounters, the small acts of generosity that help strangers to find affinity with each other even in the worst of times.'
