ABOUT
THE BOOK

| The Search is the story of an adopted boy's search for his real mother. It shuttles between England, Sri Lanka and Australia. Interwoven into the main theme is the concept of rebirth - as David, the boy, is conceived at the very moment that his uncle dies under tragic circumstances. |
