Book Summary

A first novel that is being described as ‘a scorcher’, ‘searing’, ‘savage’, ‘gut-wrenching’, ‘vertiginous’, ‘brilliant and disturbing’, ‘a powerful work of art’ …

The past is a cruel country; it never renounces its claim on you. Ritwik Ghosh, twenty-two and recently orphaned, finds a chance to start his life all over again when he arrives in England to study. But to do that, he must not only relive his entire past but also try and understand it, naming things, making connections, unravelling the thread of a narrative he can only now bring himself to read. Above all, he must make sense of his relationship with his mother – scarred, abusive and all-consuming.
