LONGLISTED FOR THE WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION 2018 LONGLISTED FOR
THE MAN BOOKER PRIZE 2017 NOMINATED FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS
CIRCLE AWARD FOR FICTION LONGLISTED FOR THE CARNEGIE 2018 THE
SUNDAY TIMES NUMBER ONE and THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER 'At magic
hour; when the sun has gone but the light has not, armies of flying
foxes unhinge themselves from the Banyan trees in the old graveyard
and drift across the city like smoke...' So begins The Ministry of
Utmost Happiness, Arundhati Roy's incredible follow-up to The God
of Small Things. We meet Anjum, who used to be Aftab, who runs a
guest-house in an Old Delhi graveyard and gathers around her the
lost, the broken and the cast out. We meet Tilo, an architect, who
although she is loved by three men, lives in a 'country of her own
skin' . When Tilo claims an abandoned baby as her own, her destiny
and that of Anjum become entangled as a tale that sweeps across the
years and a teeming continent takes flight... 'A sprawling
kaleidoscopic fable' Guardian, Books of the Year 'Roy's second
novel proves as remarkable as her first' Financial Times 'A great
tempest of a novel... which will leave you awed by the heat of its
anger and the depth of its compassion' Washington Post
