Description

VALTOHA is an epistolary non-fictional narrative about a boy's search for his grandfather and a man's search for his roots. It begins with an unusual practice of writing to the dead and then the actual search for his grandfather's village. Armed with only a post office address from a letter between brothers, the writer and his family set off for India to find out more about their past. They meet several characters and encounters as they retrace his steps from a farming village in Punjab to his eventual arrival in Singapore.
