A saga of flight and pursuit, this novel chronicles the adventures
of Alu, a young weaver who is wrongly suspected of being a
terrorist. Chased from Bengal to Bombay and on through the Persian
Gulf to North Africa by a bird-watching police inspector, Alu
encounters along the way a cast of characters as various and as
colourful as the epithets with which the author adorns them. The
reader is drawn into their lives by incidents tender and outrageous
and all compellingly told. Ghosh is as natural a weaver of words as
Alu is of cloth, deftly interlacing humour and wisdom to produce a
narrative tapestry of surpassing beauty.
