Synopsis
Three Continents is a tale of the clash between the easternized West and the westernized East. Twins Harriet and Michael-spoiled, quixotic, and extremely wealthy-have eschewed the vapid world of cocktail parties and adulteries that seems to be their inheritance. In constantly searching to complete themselves, they become the perfect fodder for the charismatic Rawul of Dhoka and his sinister Sixth World Movement.

Review
Truly an astonishing writer (Observer)
It's more than just a good story. There is an animated cast of variously displaced persons, most of them of mixed race, mixed culture and mixed sexuality... Outstanding (The Times)
She excels in describing the confrontation between the old world and the new... she has done it before, but never so well. Three Continents is stunningly good ... rich and constantly enthralling (Evening Standard)
Ruth Prawer Jhabvala's new novel is as richly coloured and intricate as one of the works of art in which her crooked characters deal. ... The final chapter is a tour de force, a gripping battle between good and evil, with an ending that reverberates in the memory (Sunday Times)
Her tussle with India is one of the richest treats of contemporary literature (Guardian)
A writer of genius ... a writer of world class - a master storyteller (Sunday Times)
