Description

Ram Karan, a corrupt official in the Delhi school system, lives in one of the city's slums with his widowed daughter and his eight-year-old granddaughter.

Bumbling, ironical, sad, Ram is also a man tortured by a terrible guilty secret.

When Rajiv Gandhi, the soon-to-be Prime Minister, is murdered, the country is plunged into confusion and Ram, as his department's resident bribe-collector, is trapped in a series of escalating, potentially deadly political betrayals.

While he tries to protect himself and his family, his daughter reveals a crime that he had hoped would be buried forever.

An Obedient Father takes the reader to an India that is both far away and real - into the mind of a character as tormented, funny, and morally ambiguous as one of Dostoevsky's anti-heroes.

This is a subtly rendered tragicomedy of contemporary India by an enormously gifted young writer.
