She does not cry, yet her skin prickles with the sense that someone is watching her, keeping time with her, but when she turns around, she sees no one. Instead, she imagines him whole, perfect, hands clasped as if in prayer. She refuses to think that AJ’s body might be in hundreds of pieces, somewhere in the north-east of a tiny island in the Indian Ocean. And now her son is dead, his mother’s prayers spent. AJ wasn’t religious, but since he left three years ago to fight his war of liberation, Nisha finds herself turning towards holy things for comfort. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me. A rendition of ‘Amazing Grace’, one of Nisha’s favourite hymns, plays on her iPod. Psalm 23, written out by Nisha on a sheet of paper pressed with petals. A garland of marigolds sewn together, the flowers bought earlier from the Cornwall Park Superette on Great South Road. A pot of ghee, a spoonful of raw honey, sandalwood oil. This ceremony, instead, is a commingling of the Christian traditions practiced by Nisha’s husband Sam, and the ancient Hindu rites of her own ancestors.
