"

"Swarup ("Six Suspects", 2009, etc.) intrigues and mystifies...A thought-provoking dissection of a modern India."--"Kirkus Reviews

""Swarup's voice has a magical quality--an essential kindness, a likeability . . . Like the Bollywood dance at the end of "Slumdog Millionaire, " it is oddly uplifting and joyful." --"The Sunday Times" (UK)

"Gets off to an exciting start and ends with a spectacular twist." --"Mail on Sunday" (UK)

"A complex, challenging, and deeply moving tale of following our dreams until they come true." --"Press Association" (UK)
