Summary:  Novel blends biting social commentary with a sprawling family saga, beginning with the marriage of the beautiful Anuradha and handsome Vardhmaan, who seem destined to lead a charmed life. But a hateful stepmother does what she can to interfere, and when their first child, Mohan, dies in a tragic accident, their lives take a downward spiral. Vardhmaan continues to be haunted by Mohan's death for years, causing an emptiness that threatens to sever his relationship with Anuradha. Their house, which is filled with the "wretched, infectious sadness" of ancient memories of unrequited love, seems to take on a sinister life of its own when their second child nearly dies at birth. A narrative laced with poetic imagery, which juxtaposes political commentary with magical realism, Bollywood's excesses with Gandhi's austerity. Part fairy tale, part satire, part love story. Genre:  Psychological fiction. Magic realism (Literature) Love stories.
