Guardian Bookshop Notes:

Trade paperback. The new novel from the prize winning author of "The In-Between World Of Vikram Lall". Evoking V.S. Naipaul and E.M. Forster, it's a stunning examination of cross-cultural exchange, which spans 40 years. 'There are echoes of Rohinton Mistry in Vassanji's lampooning of post-independent India's frenetic nationalism' "Washington Post"

Publisher's description:

Tells the story of Karsan Dargawalla (heir to the shrine of a mysterious, medieval sufi), his family and the destroyed shrine in the aftermath of the violence that gripped western India in 2002.
