A wide-eyed boy growing up in suburban Calcutta in the 1960s
experiences the world through the eyes of others - an intoxicating
older cousin, a grandmother who weaves stories from the past and a
family in London whose lives are intertwined with his. When a
seemingly random act of violence threatens his vision of the world,
he begins piecing together events for himself, and in the process
unravels secrets with devastating consequences. Set in Calcutta and
London and spanning generations from the outbreak of the Second
World War to the late twentieth century, The Shadow Lines is a
haunting novel from one of the world's greatest writers.
