LONGLISTED FOR THE MAN BOOKER PRIZE 2015 A stark and unflinching
novel by a spellbinding storyteller, about religion, love and
violence in the modern world. A train stops at a railway station. A
young woman jumps off. She has wild hair, sloppy clothes, a
distracted air. She looks Indian, yet she is somehow not. The
sudden violence of what happens next leaves the other passengers
gasping. The train terminates at Jarmuli, a temple town by the sea.
Here, among pilgrims, priests and ashrams, three old women
disembark only to encounter the girl once again. What is someone
like her doing in this remote corner, which attracts only
worshippers? Over the next five days, the old women live out their
long-planned dream of a holiday together; their temple guide finds
ecstasy in forbidden love; and the girl is joined by a photographer
battling his own demons. The full force of the evil and violence
beneath the serene surface of the town becomes evident when their
lives overlap and collide. Unexpected connections are revealed
between devotion and violence, friendship and fear, as Jarmuli is
revealed as a place with a long, dark past that transforms all who
encounter it.
