      abstract = {Beggar's Feast is a novel about a man who lives in  defiance of fate. Sam Kandy was born in 1899 to low  prospects in a Ceylon village and died one hundred years  later as the wealthy headman of the same village, a  self-made shipping magnate, and father of sixteen, three  times married and twice widowed. In four parts, this  enthralling novel tells Sam's story from his boyhood - when  his parents, convinced by his horoscope that he would be a  blight upon the family, abandon him at the gates of a  distant temple - through his dramatic escape from the  temple and journey across Ceylon to Australia and  Singapore, before his bold return to the Ceylon village he  once called home. There he tries to win recognition for his  success in the world - at any cost.},
