"A writer of great subtlety and intelligence . . . a beautifully
written and compelling story of how families fall apart and what
remains of the aftermath" Kamila Shamsie, winner of the Women's
Prize for Fiction 2018 "The book everyone is talking about for the
summer" Lorraine Candy, Sunday Times In my childhood, I was known
as the boy whose mother had run off with an Englishman" - so begins
the story of Myshkin and his mother, Gayatri, who is driven to
rebel against tradition and follow her artist's instinct for
freedom. Freedom of a different kind is in the air across India.
The fight against British rule is reaching a critical turn. The
Nazis have come to power in Germany. At this point of crisis, two
strangers arrive in Gayatri's town, opening up for her the vision
of other possible lives. What took Myshkin's mother from India to
Dutch-held Bali in the 1930s, ripping a knife through his
comfortingly familiar environment? Excavating the roots of the
world in which he was abandoned, Myshkin comes to understand the
connections between anguish at home and a war-torn universe
overtaken by patriotism. Anuradha Roy's enthralling novel is a
powerful parable for our times, telling the story of men and women
trapped in a dangerous era uncannily similar to the present.
Impassioned, elegiac, and gripping, it brims with the same genius
that has brought Roy's earlier fiction international renown. "One
of India's greatest living authors" - O, The Oprah Magazine "Roy's
writing is a joy" - Financial Times
