India  1992. The country is ablaze with riots. In Lucknow  ten-year-old Shubhankar witnesses a
terrible act of mob violence that will alter the course of his life: one to which his family
turn a blind eye. As he approaches adulthood  Shabby focuses on the only path he believes will
buy him an escape - good school  good degree  good job  good car. But when he arrives in Mumbai
in his twenties  he begins to question whether there might be other roads he could choose. His
new friends  Syed and Shruti  are asking the same questions : together  buoyed by the freedom
of the big city  they are rewriting their stories. But as the rising tide of nationalism sweeps
across the country  and their friendship becomes the rock they all cling to  this new life
suddenly seems fragile. And before Shabby can chart his way forward  he must reckon with the
ghosts of his past . . . ____________________________________________ 'A joy to read  a full
