Born under a bad sign in rural Trinidad, a man spends his life squeezed under his overbearing in-laws' roof, chasing work, dignity and above all a house of his own. He finally buys one, shabby and mortgaged, just before he dies.
Ten weeks before he died, Mr Mohun Biswas, a journalist of Sikkim Street, St James, Port of Spain, was sacked.
