Habitat of Ordinary People (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789786071732)

Habitat of Ordinary People tells the story of Tori and his struggle with overwhelming economic and political paralyses in an unpleasant society. The novel documents the complications that characterise his early life in a difficult and interesting neighbourhood as he witnesses the rapid decline of a one-time famous and prosperous company for which his paternal grandfather worked and died. Forced by tragedy to relocate and live with his paternal grandmother, Tori's new motivation is his unflinching desire to escape from his new environment the first day he gets there. There are a few things Tori does not know about himself and his family. Is Tori's ignorance about his own life detrimental or beneficial to his quest to study his country's contested history?
