From the Back Cover:
“A remarkable piece of work... A magnificent novel.” – Salman Rushdie, Observer

“A major attempt to tackle serious themes... extraordinarily rich in incident and detail.” – Sebastian Faulks

“Anita Desai’s most subtle and mature work to date... She retains an unforced and powerful ease in conveying the colour and sounds and sensations of Indian life.” – TLS
From the Inside Flap:
Touching and wonderfully funny, In Custody is woven around the yearnings and calamities of a small town scholar in the north of India. An impoverished college lecturer, Deven, sees a way to escape from the meanness of his daily life when he is asked to interview India?s greatest Urdu poet, Nur ? a project that can only end in disaster.
