Synopsis

The acclaimed author of The Great Indian Novel returns with this masterful new book. When a young American volunteer in India dies under mysterious circumstances during a Hindu and Muslim riot, her story unfolds like the Japanese classic Rashomon, in which there are disturbingly different versions of events and everyone involved is convinced that he or she holds the truth. At once a story of love, hate, cultural collision, the ownership of history and the impossibility of knowing the truth, this is a true tour de force. '...the Hindu Shakespeare' - Seattle Times
