Description

An enthralling virtuoso debut that eloquently captures the loves and losses of a dying man

'All the elements of great storytelling are here, the mystic transports of Ben Okri with the intimate charm of Arundhati Roy ... enchanting'Sunday Tribune

'Beautifully captures with great tenderness and depth the eternal war between duty and desire. This is a love letter to Bombay and its people'Sunday Express

Vishnu, the odd-job man in a Bombay apartment block, lies dying on the staircase landing. Around him the lives of the apartment dwellers unfold - the warring housewives on the first floor, the lovesick teenagers on the second, and the widower, alone and quietly grieving at the top of the building.

In a fevered state Vishnu looks back on his love affair with the seductive Padmini and comedy becomes tragedy as his life draws to a close.
