THE stunning, magical, breathless mystery that is the modern marvel of India is brought vividly to life through the eyes of a tea stall vendor who is catapulted from the humble backstreets of Delhi to the verges of complete political power.
As dazzling as the gem-encrusted Peacock Throne, potent symbol of the Mughal Empire, this dazzling novel stalks the soul of a country both baffling and bewildering and alluring and irreverent at the same time.
