Lost And Found Cindy Pereira

In 'Lost And Found, ' the author allows the protagonist, Doug Geoghegan, a young English lecturer at a junior college in Bangalore, to narrate the story of his life in his own way. He writes about the boyish, and passionate love he had for a girl who never really loved him back, his friends whom he grew up with, his sisters who considered him their father figure, and his grandmother and her battle with Schizophrenia. He sometimes quotes from an old diary of those days of blissful ignorance, jumping forward, and then backward, and then forward again, narrating his memories as they came back to him. 'Lost And Found' is a love story; a story of a young man who narrates his emotional journey back home, back to the woman he could never stop loving. But who is this woman? Is she the one with the red hair and the aqua-blue eyes? Or is she the one who 'laughed with the Gods?' And then, after all the years of separation, does he go back home to her at last?
