SATURDAY''S CHILD

A JOURNEY THROUGH AN INDIAN CHILDHOOD

Whoever has not gone away forever has no right to talk of love. Saturday's Child is not a conventional autobiography. It is a reflection on a long ago Indian childhood which manages, through the atmosphere of an intimate conversation, to explore and indelibly retrieve the figures, events, traumas and passions of childhood in relation to the strange adult world. It is essentially about memory and the reaches of memory, the recovery of those vivid and indefinable images that defy time and the backlog of experience and knowledge.

Economou lays herself open, she does not hold back. Her story has light and darkness and clearly reflects the nature of love and loss, through the echo of memory, the line of a sentence, the fall of a phrase.
