Ever Newer Shores
Santi Chakrabarti · 2020 · 231 pages
Life tends to take us through twists and turns, but sometimes it takes us on a journey that we could never have imagined. In this captivating autobiography, we follow the author from his idyllic childhood in a remote village in Bengal in British India, to his youth amidst poverty and hardship in post-Independence Kolkata, to England in the late 1960s, to Kenya and Botswana in the 1980s and 1990s, and finally a journey back to his roots. It is a moving story of struggle and success, of family and country, and of travelling far but never forgetting where you started. "Ever Newer Shores" is the autobiography of Santi Chakrabarti, revised and translated from the original Bengali memoirs by his daughter, Rupa Chakrabarti.

“Chanced upon this book and so glad I did. Diary of Santi Chakrabarti, an economist with a nomadic soul and an anthropologist’s eye, who lived and worked in Kolkata, London, Nairobi and London and clearly loved them all.”↗
