Review:

A masterpiece. Sometimes poetic, sometimes profane. A dark journey through four generations of a remarkable family.

A glimpse inside the world outside the tourist brochures of India, the world at the top of the skyscrapers and the world at the bottom of the streets.

The prose is masterful and elegant, from the gutterspeak to the poetic descriptions rivaling the Mahabaratta in tone and beauty.

Reminded me a lot of One Hundred Years of Solitude and Maraquez’s Buendia family.

The rare and coveted 5 star Neilos Award.
