A novel to transport you to India

This was nicely done – a novel that starts at the end of the story and then looks back at how it all happens. A boy witnesses the downfall of a family. The way this downfall happened is what makes the novel and it is quite the story…
The writing was evocative and gripping. The imagery colourful and wonderfully evoked. The characters are a complex mix of relatives, family and friends with some very interesting dynamics between them.
Location
India – already you know it’s going to be colourful and a vibrant display of life in India at the time. There are violent uprisings tearing across the countryside and the India that once existed is changing. The country and its people are burning from the inside out.
