"The Nobel Prize winner's first great novel" (Barack Obama), A House for Mr. Biswas is an unforgettable story inspired by Naipaul's father that has been hailed as one of the twentieth century's finest novels.

In his forty-six short years, Mr. Mohun Biswas has been fighting against destiny to achieve some semblance of independence, only to face a lifetime of calamity. Shuttled from one residence to another after the drowning death of his father, for which he is inadvertently responsible, Mr. Biswas yearns for a place he can call home. But when he marries into the domineering Tulsi family on whom he indignantly becomes dependent, Mr. Biswas embarks on an arduous- and endless-struggle to weaken their hold over him and purchase a house of his own. A heartrending, dark comedy of manners, A House for Mr. Biswas masterfully evokes a man's quest for autonomy against an emblematic post-colonial canvas.

Actually helps dry mouth!
I’m giving this product 4.5/5. It works really well for dry mouth during sleep. I recommend starting with 1 tablet and adding a second one only if necessary. (I require 2 tablets at night). This is called “slightly sweet” and is relatively tasteless with a hint of sweetness. During daytime usage, I’ve been using 2 tablets at a time. The only issue I have during the day is that if I can’t drink on a regular basis I get the white coating from the tablets in the corners of my mouth. I do think that this is the next best product to use when taking sips of water isn’t possible. Works as stated and easily adheres to your gum line/partial tooth. I place them in the back of my mouth and they are not noticeable to others. Added bonus, they don’t leave a slimy coating on your teeth the way a mouth rinse does. Product performs better than expected! If you have dry mouth for any reason please consider giving these a try!!! I wish I would have known about them years ago!!!

Works for dry mouth
Suffer from dry mouth and these disc size tablets stick to my gums, helping keep my mouth moist through the night. Brown side sticks to your gum. Contain xylitol so s little sweet. Dentist recommended them.
