| Description | 614p Brown spine |
| Note | A portrait of India featuring four characters. Two are tailors who are forcibly sterilized, one is a student who emigrates, and the fourth is a widowed seamstress who decides to hang on. A tale of cruelty, political thuggery and despair by a master blender of the picaresque and the tragic. To say he captures the textures of Indiawell and creates larger-than-life characters is to make light of his achievement. |
