A modern classic set in Calcutta, Delhi and Brahmpur after Independence. Big and unabashedly plotty, it's like a 19th-century English novel in its structure and resolution, yet its trappings are all Indian. While courtesans sing ghazals, while young men make mischief in celebration of Holi, while pilgrims bathe in the Ganges, the newly independent nation of India launches itself into history.
