Product Information
An epic saga telling the story of a Bengali family in Calcutta - exploring a family that is decaying as the society around it fractures, and one young man who tries to reimagine his place in the world. Shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize Shortlisted for the Costa Novel Award Winner of the Encore Award Shortlisted for the DSC Prize for South Asian Literature Longlisted for the IMPAC Prize Calcutta, 1967. Unnoticed by his family, Supratik has become dangerously involved in extremist political activism. Compelled by an idealistic desire to change his life and the world around him, all he leaves behind before disappearing is a note. At home, his family slowly begins to unravel. Poisonous rivalries grow, the once-thriving family business implodes and destructive secrets are unearthed. And all around them the sands are shifting as society fractures, for this is a moment of turbulence, of inevitable and unstoppable change.

I couldn’t wait for a spare hour to sit and read this book.
I liked the way it was written - the author obviously has a great knowledge and skill with the English language. The telling of the story was so cleverly written that the reader was almost there experiencing the horrors of the situation. I have a better understanding now of how having absolutely nothing and no future ahead for your situation to improve could completely destroy you and your family. The prologue is so powerful and the book carries on just as powerfully.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
