“One of my favorite John Irving books. The plot has so many unexpected surprises and the cast of characters are so colorfully presented that you won't be able to put this book down.”

“In typical Irving style, I was buried in this books for weeks. The experience might have been enhanced by actually being IN India while reading, but I loved this, and it gave me a good background on Parsis. Does the change in scenery make a difference for serious Irving lovers? I imagine it must, the feel seems so different.”

“Another awesome doctor. Murder mystery! Indian movie stars! Definitely one of my favorite Irving books...the book's setting of India being very compelling.”
