Die in Neu Delhi lebende Autorin erzählt die Geschichte einer indischen Familie und damit auch die Geschichte Indiens als Teil des britischen Empires und des unabhängigen Staates; eine wichtige Rolle spielen das uralte, oft grausame Kastensystem und der Konflikt zwischen den großen Religionen. "Roys visionäre Klarheit ist bemerkenswert, ihre Erzählkunst originell, ihre Geschichte grandios strukturiert und meisterhaft geschildert." (Publishers Weekly.)
