A few years later, he inadvertently married into the Tours family and became the son-in-law, but he still suffered repeated looks and insults. For this reason, he has only one dream: to have a house that is completely his own! From then on, he began an ambitious "life in the house", earning money, saving money, earning money, saving money... This book is the most widely read and popular novel by Nobel Prize winner Naipaul.
