Publisher's Synopsis
The lingering incident of strange characters in nuclear families is the subject matter of this novel. Oftentimes, a good-natured couple wakes up to the sad reality that one of its offspring is ill-natured and far out of tune with its collective disposition. It does happen also that some ill-disposed couple sometimes begets a well-inclined offspring. And all this seems to run contrary to the obvious universal principles of "birds of a feather flock together" and "like father like son". Not infrequently, some misgivings and feelings of mystery arise as to how it is possible that such aberration occurs.
Black Sheep, in a fictional rendering, turns the searchlight on the contending factors in such circumstances. Through a dispassionate and broadminded way, this novel strings together the prevailing socioreligious and cultural dimensions and standpoints.
