We all have dreams. Roy Moxham yearned for a small house in India&
The Malabar Coast of India has held a special place in the European imagination since the Romans first set eyes on its exotic spices, pearls and gems 2000 years ago. This the story of one man's journey in pursuit of his long-cherished dream to find a small house on the west coast of India, searching among the footsteps of all those who have gone before him, for his own little plot in paradise.Vasco da Gama found the sea route to Malabar's riches in 1498. The Portuguese later established coastal forts and trading posts there, followed by their rivals - the British,Dutch and French. This is an account of a land with its own siren call, and of those who sought to possess a part of it, be it in Goa, Kerala or Bombay. The compelling story of Roy Moxham's quest and of some of those colourful characters who preceded him is an inspiration for the dreamer in us all.
