Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

One of the finest literary works you will ever encounter . . . Magnificent. (Eileen Battersby Irish Times)

This tale of a young man's turbulent family history in Bangalore is as tightly wound as a Maupassant story. (Sunday Times 'Summer Reading')

A classic tale of wealth and moral ruin. (New Yorker)

A story that packs a powerful punch . . . Shanbhag is the real deal, this gem of a novel resounding with chilling truths. (Independent)

An espresso-hit of a novel. (Daily Mail)

Vivek Shanbhag is one of those writers whose voice takes your breath away at the first encounter. (Yiyun Li, author of A Thousand Years of Good Prayers)

India's finest writer. (Herald)

Masterful . . . While Shanbhag's observations are as meticulous and true to life as Austen's, and notwithstanding his wry wit, something far darker is going on here. (Guardian)

Reseña del editor:

In this masterful novel by the acclaimed Indian writer Vivek Shanbhag, a close-knit family is delivered from near-destitution to sudden wealth after a miraculous change in fortune. As the narrator, along with his sister, his parents, and his uncle move from a cramped shack to a larger house and encounter new-found wealth, the family dynamics begin to shift. As the dream of middle-class, aspirational living comes true, allegiances and desires realign; marriages are arranged and begin to falter; and conflict brews ominously in the background.
