Author's debut novel. A young boy's coming of age in German-occupied Silesia, circa 1940. Basu is a London based writer of Indian, Polish, and Russian descent. "The Stars Can Wait resembles The Reader, Bernard Schlink's sleeper hit about postwar Germany. A short and understated coming-of-age novel [...] admirable." –The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
