Ruchir Joshi Livres

The most arresting Indian novel since Arundhati Roy's `The God of Small Things'.

Set against the backdrop of imperial Calcutta during World War Two, the narrative weaves a complex tapestry of war, famine, love, and cultural conflict. It explores the tumultuous experiences of its characters in a city rich with history and diversity. Praised for its grand scale and deep emotional resonance, the work is likened to a fresh literary journey reminiscent of Salman Rushdie, offering readers a vibrant and immersive experience that captures the essence of Indian life during a pivotal time.
