Opportunities

Meer over het boek

Asha is one of India's many polio victims, with nothing better than a pole to hop around his native Nagpur. Fate takes a hand in the form of Robert, businessman and philanthropist. Father of a disabled child, Robert is minded to help - with polio uppermost in his mind. Robert offers to fund an operation that could change Asha's life in ways he cannot imagine. For a new life brings new challenges. Able to attend university in a foreign land, will Asha land on his feet now he can walk, or will he stumble in his studies, slip up when socialising, fall flat in wheelchair sports and be wrong-footed by racial prejudice? To see how far a handicapped person can go in life, and how near and yet how far life with a disability compares to that of the able-bodied, Opportunities will open eyes as well as hearts.
