“It draws you in with its very superbly written first few pages. Set in the underworld underbelly of mumbai, india, it traces the years an australian convict-on-the-run spends here. having lived in mumbai for 20 odd years, the world he presents was new yet highly likely to have existed and superimposed on the one i inhabited.
A thick book to read- with a cast of really well etched, interesting characters- its only flaw is a stretched ending. the last 200 pages became trying. But there is so much that is engaging for me to recco. the book”
