About the Book
A Journey of Faith, Love, and Self-Discovery
On a summer morning in 1977, nineteen-year-old Lorenzo Senesi crashes his Vespa into a speeding Fiat, breaking his forearm and forcing him into a month of bedrest. As he recovers, his mind drifts to unfamiliar questions: Where has he come from? Where is he going?
Seeking answers, Lorenzo enrolls in physiotherapy, joins a prayer group, and visits Praglia Abbey, a Benedictine monastery near Padua. The abbey soon becomes his home, shaping a decade of solitude and devotion before sending him on an unexpected journey—to a Benedictine ashram in Bangladesh.
In a remote Khulna village, where monsoon clouds darken both sky and river, Lorenzo embraces a life of prayer, service, and simplicity. He learns Bengali, washes his clothes in the river, starts a physiotherapy clinic, and even paints a chapel. But his path takes an unexpected turn when he falls in love, confronting the tension between spiritual commitment and human longing.
A deeply contemplative novel, Upamanyu Chatterjee’s latest work explores the majesty and monotony of the spiritual journey, offering a poignant meditation on faith, purpose, and the limits of devotion.
