But as news of Hong Kong's impendinghandover by Britain to China trickles in, McGowan's stablelife seems suddenly uncertain. And it stirs up his memory,filling him with nostalgic ache for his village in India. That's when young Robin McGowandecides to travel to the village his father speaks of sooften: McCluskieganj, an Anglo-Indian agricultural havenfounded in the 1940s in what is now Jharkhand.
