Reviews

'This profound book is full of lives whose beauty lies in the wholeness of their telling. A father, a daughter, a crime, a country being born, a migration, another country, a plague. “We are in touch with a great astonishing mystery when we put honest words down on paper to register a life and to offer witness. Everything else is ordinary,” Kumar writes. His novel offers magnificent witness, and is not ordinary but extraordinary.' -- Salman Rushdie Amitava Kumar has the precious ability to write across borders and cultures. -- Joseph O'Neill, author of <i>Netherland</i>
