COMMENTS FROM READERS

Best ever evocation of Bombay and Ghats
Reviewer: Fred Gomes from New York City, USA

As someone who grew up in Bombay I have to say that this is the only novel I have ever read that brings back to me the city that I knew, its sounds, smells and above all, the feel of being there. From bus rides on the 132, smells of Sassoon Dock, reminders of the great days of Hindi movies (Guru Dutt, Johnny Walker) to parts of the city like Dongri which are never written about elsewhere because only a person who knows can write: this plus a great story and characters and what must be the definitive description of the western ghats through the eyes of a small child make this a novel that haunts one long after one has finished the last page and regretfully put it down.

I thoroughly enjoyed this first novel by Sinha and hope that there is more to follow. It made me both laugh and cry and so absorbed me that I even got up at dawn one morning to watch the sun rise over Whitby Bay and finish the book! Just what you need to while away the hours on a hot beach in North Yorkshire!

One death, long ago, stains the innocence of the present with the pus of ancient corruption. It is a search for truth, rather than revenge, that drives the story, but it proves to be a truth that brings no release. India is evoked with astonishing richness and depth, while remaing a backdrop for the characters, who are vivid and rounded, but always with more to reveal as the dream draws them on. I read this book some months ago, but it haunts me still.
