Saturday's Child

by Daphne Economou

"Whoever has not gone away forever has no right to talk of love." Saturday's Child is a reflection on a long ago Indian Childhood which manages, through the atmosphere of an intimate conversation, to explore and indelibly retrieve the figures, events, traumas and passions of childhood in relation to the strange adult world. It is essentially about memory and the reaches of memory, the recovery of those vivid and indefinable images that defy time and the backlog of experience. The story has light and darkness and clearly reflects the nature of love and loss.
